Poems about "William Butler Yeats" …

When you are old, gray-haired, sleepy and dozing by the fire, please take down this book and read it slowly, dreaming of your gentle eyes and their deep shadows; How many people love your happy and elegant moments, love your beauty with hypocrisy or sincerity, but only one person loves your pilgrim soul and the sadness on your aging face; Bend down by the burning fireplace and whisper sadly, how love flies and packs on the mountains overhead and hides its face among the stars. Old, white-headed, sleepy, dozing by the fire. Please take this poem down and read it slowly, recalling the softness of your eyes in the past and their heavy shadows in the past; How many people love the beauty, hypocrisy or sincerity of adore you when you are young and happy? Only one person loves your pilgrim soul and the painful wrinkles on your aging face. He hung his head and whispered sadly about the disappearance of love by the red fire. On the mountain overhead, he walked slowly, hiding his face among a group of stars. William Butler Yeats is an Irish poet and playwright.
