W. B. YEATS: AN IRISH AIRMAN FORSEE HIS DEATH                                   I know that I shall meet my fate                                                 Somewhere among the clouds above,                                                 Those that I fight I do not hate,                                                 Those that I guard I do not love;                                     5           My Country is Kiltartan cross,                                                 My Countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,                                                 No likely end could bring them loss                                                 Or leave them happier than before.                                                 Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,                                     10        Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,                                                 A lonely impulse of delight
