Emotional Poetry | W.B. Yeats - When you are Old (With Explanation)

When You Are Old BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 🌟 Delve into Yeats's Timeless Elegy of Love 🌟 | #WBYeats #ClassicPoetry #LiteraryAnalysis 📖 Join us as we explore the rich depths of William Butler Yeats's “When You Are Old,“ a poem that resonates with themes of love, aging, and reflection.
