The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics
- The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics
"The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics" (1892) is the second poetry collection of William Butler Yeats.
It includes the play "The Countess Kathleen" and group of shorter lyrics that Yeats would later collect under the title of "The Rose" in his "Collected Poems".
This volume includes several of Yeats' most popular poems, including "The Lake Isle of Innisfree", "A Faery Song", "When you are old", and "Who goes with Fergus". (The latter was James Joyce's favorite lyric poem; it is the song Stephen Daedalus sings to his mother as she lies dying in "Ulysses".)
Many of these poems also reflect Yeats' new-discovered interest in alchemy and esotericism.
