The Tower is a book of poems by W. B. Yeats, published in 1928. The collection is viewed as one of the poet's most important, containing some of his most famous poems, such as 'Sailing to Byzantium,' 'Leda and the Swan,' and 'Among School Children.' The Tower furthered Yeats's meditations on aging, the creative process, and the nature of the physical and the spiritual world.
