Answer:

This particular speaker becomes keenly aware of his own aging as he watches the same swans that he has watched year after year. While the swans seem to change not at all, the speaker admits he has changed in every way. He has grown old, and everything in his life has changed, and he fears that one day the swans will leave him, too. Yeats is able to convey a feeling of deep sadness by using the feelings of his speaker in juxtaposition to the beauty of the Lake and the swans. He explores the idea of aging by using a speaker who has been to this same place for nineteen years.

In ‘The Wild Swans at Coole,’ Yeats brings his readers to feel the passing of time through his speaker’s description of the lake and his feelings as he counts the swans and watches them take flight. He has the unique ability to cause his readers to connect with nature while simultaneously becoming aware of their own mortality. Although the speaker never overtly says it, the reader becomes aware that the lake and the beautiful nature around the speaker will be there for years after the speaker’s passing. It all makes life seem so short, fragile, and yet beautiful.

The Wild Swans at Coole Analysis

Stanza One

The trees are in their autumn beauty,

The woodland paths are dry,

Under the October twilight the water The trees are in their autumn beauty,

The woodland paths are dry,

Under the October twilight the water

Mirrors a still sky;

Upon the brimming water among the stones

Are nine-and-fifty swans.

‘The Wild Swans at Coole’ opens up with the description of beautiful woodland in the autumn. One can imagine the gorgeous colors of the leaves before they fall, and see the twilight reflecting off the water, where there are fifty-nine swans swimming. It is interesting that the speaker has been focused on the swans enough to count all fifty-nine of them. He is clearly intently studying them.  The way the speaker describes the beauty has a calming effect on the readers. This place, called Coole, is a place to be quiet and serene. The scenery itself demands it. Readers can picture themselves there, in this beautiful place, watching the swans.
