This is a spooky song set amidst the 1968 Lincoln Park protests in Chicago. It seems to be about a girl the narrator knew who died there, because he first mentions a "fair young maiden" with a "flame in her eyes," and later talks about losing her in the crowd and then planning to tell her that "she lies in stone," which I'm guessing means she's been buried. I'm not sure where William Butler Yeats enters the equation, though. Maybe his ghost visited Lincoln Park and got away with her murder? I doubt it. He's probably just in the title for poetic effect. Unless maybe he's meant to be the ghostly narrator?
