Hello /lit/. Where should I start with Yeats? He's my dads favourite poet, and I feel somewhat guilty for not having read any of his work. What editions would you recommend?

Here OP, essential starting poem:
THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE

By William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Start with:
When you are old
The lake isle of Innisfree
The wild swans at Coole
An Irish airman foresees his death
Easter, 1916
The second coming
A prayer for my daughter
Sailing to Byzantium
Among school children
Leda and the swan
Byzantium
Vacillation
Lapis Lazuli
The circus animals' desertion
Under Ben Bulben
Long-legged fly
The wanderings of Oisin
