The story in short

In “For Anne Gregory”, W.B. Yeats presents a conversation about the difference between outer beauty and inner worth, and the nature of true love. The speaker tells the young, beautiful Anne Gregory that young men, attracted by the “honey-colour” of her yellow hair, can fall in love with her outer beauty rather than with her true self. Anne replies that she could change the colour of her hair — to brown, black or carrot — so that young men might love her for herself alone and not for her golden hair. The speaker answers that he has found an old, religious text saying that only God could love her for herself alone and not for her yellow hair, suggesting that ordinary human love is usually drawn to external appearances. Through this gentle dialogue, the poem reflects on the contrast between physical beauty and inner self, and on how rare and almost divine it is to be loved purely for who one truly is.
