Poetry Friday: To a Child Dancing in the Wind by W.B. Yeats

[slayground]

Dance there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won

-- from Responsibilities and Other Poems: 22: To a Child Dancing in the Wind by W.B. Yeats
