MP Board · Class 10 · English · Poetry: For Anne GregoryWhat does the young man want Anne Gregory to prove through her yellow hair?

In the poem 'For Anne Gregory' by W.B. Yeats, the young man is deeply captivated by Anne Gregory's physical beauty, particularly her gorgeous yellow hair. He tells her that he loves her for her beautiful yellow hair and not for who she is inside. He wishes her to prove that she is loved for her inner personality and soul by changing the color of her hair to a different shade, such as brown, black, or carrot. He believes that if men love her purely, they should look beyond her physical appearance and attractive outer shell, specifically her striking yellow hair, which acts as a major distraction preventing anyone from noticing her true internal self and spiritual beauty.
