Context: The poet in continuance of his prayer for the wellbeing of his daughter, here, pleads that the soul of his daughter shouldflourish and reach self-fulfillment like a flourishing tree. Like the linnets,happy and innocent thoughts should cluster around her inner life. These littlecreatures symbols of innocence and cheerfulness-make others happy by theirsongs. The tree symbolizes inner life as well as constancy in place and liferooted in tradition. Yeats hopes that his daughter will grow and flourish withvirtue and modesty. “May she become a flourishing hidden tree.” She must be“hidden” not too open and opinionated like Maud Gonne. A “tree” is fresh,soothing and natural. He wants her to be calm, good-natured and natural – notover-influenced by opinionated ideas. Yeats wishes that Anne will have merry,pleasant thoughts. He wants her to talk of good, pleasant things. “That all herthoughts may like the linnet be, and have no business but dispensing around theirmagnanimities of sound.” The linnet is a bird which flies, representing amerry, sweet, girl – not too serious, bombastic and violent like Maud Gonne.
2) Imagining in excited reverie.
That the future years had come,
Dancing to a frenzied drum.
Out of the murderous innocence of the sea.
Ans: Poem: A prayerfor my daughter
Poet: W. B. Yeats
Context: In these lines, the poet reveals his gloom whilecontemplating on the future of his daughter who is sleeping in the cradle. Thepoet keeps walking and praying for the young child and as he does so, he is inthe state of reverie. He feels that the future years i.e., the years ofviolence and bloodshed and frenzy have already come. They seem to come dancingto the accompaniment of a drum which is beating frantically. These future yearsare seen by Yeats’s imagination as emerging out of the murderous innocence ofthe sea. In other words, the sea seems to be innocent but is capable of givingbirth to those howling storms which are capable of ruining everything. Here,Yeats is thinking with great reverie or anxiety that that the turbulent weatherof war has already visited the world that was supposed to happen later infuture he doubted. Yeats is concerned that he hears the overloaded harsh soundof the war drums. Anne’s innocence is juxtaposed with the contrasting “sea”which is “murderous.”“Murderous innocence” is an oxymoron. The searepresents the world and the crowds around her, and as they are evil,destructive and take advantage of her innocence, they are “murderous.”Moreover, the “sea” or the world is termed as “murderous innocence” because aspart of the “sea”, Anne’s innocence is ‘murderous’ to herself because itenables others to manipulate her.

By those that are not entirely beautiful.

The hearts of people can be wonpermanently by the virtue of courtesy. Even those who are not very beautifulcan win the hearts of others by being courteous. The poet continues with whathe wants his daughter to possess more than mere beauty. He wants his daughterto learn to be compassionate and kind. Many times, men who believed to love andloved by the beautiful women faced disappointment compared to those found lovein the modest yet compassionate women. Moreover, he says modest and courteouspeople attract hearts than those with beauty, referring to his own marriage.Ultimately, he makes it clear that he wants his daughter to be an agreeableyoung woman than an arrogant beauty.
4) Once more the storm is howling, and halfhid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on.
Ans: Poem: A prayerfor my daughter
Poet: W. B. Yeats
Context: 'A Prayer for My Daughter'opens with the image of the child sleeping in acradle half hidden by its hood. The child sleeps innocently amidst the “howlingstorm” outside, but Yeats couldn’t settle down due to the storm inside. Thestorm howlingsymbolizesdestruction mentioned by the poet in his‘The Second Coming’. The wind bred in Atlantic has noobstacles except the estate of Lady Gregory, referring to the poet’s patroness,and a bare hill. The direct impact of the wind, meaning to the force of theoutside world, especially on his daughter, worries the poet. Because of thisgreat gloom he walked and prayed for his daughter to be protected from thephysical storm outside and the political storm brewing across Ireland. A violent, dreadful stormis blazing outside. The poet says that the ‘haystack and roof - leveling wind’is blowing directly from the Atlantic but is obstructed by just one naked hilland the woods of Gregory’s estate. The poet then introduces her infant daughterwho is sleeping in her cradle, well protected from the assaults of the dreadfulstorm that is raging outside. The poet keeps pacing the cradle up and downwhile praying for her daughter because a storm has been raging in his soul too.He is worried for his daughter’s future and his mind is full of apprehensionfor the future of humanity.
5) May she be granted beauty and yet not
Beauty to make a stranger’s eye distraught,
Ans: Poem: A prayerfor my daughter

Context: In the third stanza of ‘A Prayer for My Daughter’,Yeats prays for his daughter to be gifted with beauty. At the same time, hedoesn’t want her beauty to distraught or makes her dependent on her beauty foreverything. Further, he doesn’t want her to become proud or vain that shespends all day staring at the mirror and fails to have natural companionships.The poet implies, too much beauty to be a dangerous one, that he wants her tobe beautiful enough to secure a husband. Yeats prays that Anne will bebeautiful but not excessively. Beauty can be distracting and destructive,because it draws the attention of all even if he is an unknown person. The muchbeauty makes him “distraught” and unhappy as if he cannot fulfill his desire topossess this beauty. Even Anne also can be derailed for the beauty she has.
6) O may she live like some green laurel
Rooted in one dear perpetual place.
Ans: Poem: A prayerfor my daughter
Poet: W. B. Yeats
Context: Yeats continues to talk about his hopes andexpectations for his daughter. As she grew up, he wants her to be happy andcontent. He wants her to become “a flourishing hidden tree” and her thoughtslike a “linnet” referring to its innocence and cheerfulness. Like a linnet, hewants her to be satisfied in herself, and infect others with her happiness.Further, he wants her to live like a “laurel” rooted in a particular place. Thepoet reveals his wish on his daughter being rooted in the tradition.
Yeats wants Anne to have a solid stability in her mind.“Rooted in one dear perpetual place.” Means she should be confined in a singlemarital life at a single home. The home is happy, so it is “dear.” This mayalso indicate loyalty to one man. Maud Gonne had a relationship with LucienMillevoye – with two premarital children but married John McBride. Yeats wantsAnne to be loyal to one man, unlike Maud Gonne. Here, Yeats uses mythology. The“green laurel” is a metaphor which refers to the nymph Daphne who was pursuedby Apollo. Eager to protect her virtue, Daphne turned into a laurel tree.Similarly, Yeats wants Anne to be virtuous, unlike Maud Gonne. The word “green”in turn may symbolize peace, innocence and youth.
Answer the following questions in 300 words.
1) How does the poem reveal the concerns of afather towards his daughter?
Ans: Yeats's "A Prayer for My Daughter" does indeed show the concern of afather for his daughter, but in rather conventional terms. We must bear in mindthat when the poem was written, in 1919, fathers were still generally expectedto guide the life choices of their daughters, and Yeats is no different.APrayer for My Daughter by William Butler Yeats opens with an image of thenewborn child sleeping in a cradle. A storm is raging with great fury outsidehis residence. A great gloom is on Yeats’ mind and is consumed with anxiety asto how to protect his child from the tide of hard times ahead. The poet keepswalking and praying for the young child and as he does so he is in a state ofreverie. He feels a kind of gloom and worry about the future of his daughter.He says “As I walk and pray for my younger daughter, I imagine in a state ofexcitement and reverie” that the future years (years of violence and bloodshedand frenzy) have already come and that they seem to come dancing to theaccompaniment of a drum which is beating frantically.These future yearsare seen by Yeats’ imagination as emerging out of the murderous (treacherous)innocence of the sea. In other words, the sea seems to be innocent but iscapable of giving birth to those howling storms which are capable of levelingeverything. In anatmosphereof such violentrevolutionary flux, he wants his daughter to be part of that solid foundationwhich he's come to believe is Ireland's only true hope. In that sense, Yeats'slove for his daughter is inextricably linked with his somewhat idealized loveof country.
2) Give a critical appreciation of the poem“A Prayer for My Daughter.”
Ans: It isimportant to read this poem alongside another famous poem by Yeats, which wasactually written just a few months before this poem, "TheSecond Coming."In this earlier work, Yeats sets out his prophecy of doom and gloom,anticipating the "Mere anarchy" and "blood-dimmed tide"that was set loose on the world due to political changes such as the RussianRevolution and the rise of fascism. Many critics view "APrayer for My Daughter"as being a discussion of how to live and transcend such disturbing events. Thepoem begins with an account of the speaker praying for his daughter in themidst of a "howling" storm because of a "great gloom" thatdominates his mind. Having effectively prophesied a massive upheaval in theworld order, now that he has a daughter, Yeats is concerned about the kind ofworld that she will grow up in. Note how the violence of nature finds aparallel in the violence that is to come as the speaker in the second stanzaimagines the future years "Dancing to a frenzied drum" as the stormrages outside. He prays that his daughter will develop the kind ofcharacteristics that the women he loved did not possess. His former lover, MaudGonne, was beautiful and aware of it and also fired by nationalistic fervor.Yeats prays that his daughter, by contrast, will be given beauty, but not toomuch, because too much beauty can lead to vanity and an inability to relate toothers. He wishes her to learn "courtesy" and hopes that she can havea life marked by stability and security, becoming a "flourishing hiddentree." In an uncertain world with anuncertain future, therefore, Yeats seems to argue that the disturbing changesin the world can be overcome through a life lived focusing on traditionalvalues and the importance of human kindness.
3) Explain the reasons of worry about thefuture of his daughter.
Ans: Yeats isworried that his daughter will grow to adulthood in a world where the oldstandards the standards of the Anglo-Irish gentry that Yeats so deeply veneratesare in terminal decline. That is why he seeks to protect his daughter from thedemocratization of society and its values by ensuring that she will behaveherself in a manner appropriate of a lady of her class. In practical terms,this means not behaving like Maude Gonne, Yeats' close friend, who, accordingto him, sullied her breeding by engaging in radical political activity. This isnot to say that Yeats wants his daughter to become a woman without opinion sheexplicitly states that she should be "chiefly learned." It's justthat he's worried that she might turn out like Maude Gonne and display a kindof intellectual hatred for others and their opinions, which is not becoming fora lady, especially not one from the Anglo-Irish gentry. As an intelligent,educated woman, Yeast’s daughter will have opinions, but she won't beopinionated. In the final stanza, Yeats expresses his wish that his daughterwill be whisked away by her future bridegroom to a place the kind of statelyhome associated with the Protestant Ascendancy where custom, ceremony, andinnocence are the norm. Yeats clearly hopes that by entering such a domesticarrangement, his daughter will be protected from the storms of social changethat rage outside.
4) Justify the title of the poem “A Prayerfor My Daughter.”
Ans: The poem‘A Prayer for myDaughter’portrays the theme of love and anxiety of a father,who has been blessed with a daughter. It also presents the poet’s hopes for hisdaughter and his expectation of her becoming a very beautiful woman, blessedwith the attributes of a virtuous soul. The setting of the poem is uncertainfor the poem is conceived in the mind of the poet. Thespeakeris the poet himselftalking to his daughter. The poem is conversational and didactic intonewith varying emotions of gloom, uncertainty,hope, and fear. “A Prayer for My Daughter” is concerned with surviving thechaos of the modern world the separation of reason from passion, or thesurrender of reason to one’s own violence or the anarchy of the external world.Yeats thus far in his career hadcelebrated the mighty Irish heroes of both legend and the historical past andpresents those courageous men and women who sacrificed themselves for theirideals. Now, however, the poet expresses certain ambivalence toward thoseheroes. He understands that in the necessary sacrifice for a cause, one maysurrender “heart”. In fact, any single-minded commitment to political, social,or intellectual causes, even to beauty may become obsessive and negate one’smore important personal and humane concerns. “A Prayer for My Daughter”proposes the means of rescuing the self, heart, and soul true beauty from aworld of growing disorder and increasing human misery.
