Which work is a poem by Yeats?

• A. Dover Beach
• B. The Crucible
• C. Leda and the Swan
• D. Everyday Use

Answer: (C)

Yeats is known for his lyric poetry, often steeped in myth and symbol. Leda and the Swan is one of his poems, a compact verse that retells the Greek myth of Leda and Zeus in powerful, imagery-rich language. It’s written as poetry with formal structure and musical rhythm, which is a hallmark of Yeats’s work. Dover Beach is a poem, but it’s by Matthew Arnold. The Crucible is a drama by Arthur Miller, not poetry. Everyday Use is a short story by Alice Walker, not poetry. So the work that fits as a poem by Yeats is Leda and the Swan.
