When You are Oldby W.B. 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.
Here are a few sites that I stumbled across while searching for information on W.B. Yeats. In my opinion these three sites provided the most adaquete information about his life and his work.
1. http://www.csun.edu/~hceng029/yeats/collectedpoems.html
This link is the most useful link when looking for poems by W.B.Yeats. When you enter the site the first page is organized by the title of the book of poems made. Once you click on a title of interest, you then are taken to a page of all his collected poems from that book. It was easy for me to read his poems in an organized manner then later find a poem that interested me the most.
2. http://www.online-literature.com/yeats/
This site goes into great detail about the life of W.B. Yeats. It includes a full biography discussing his birth, his greates accomplishments and achievements, and his final years. Also, this link not only provides more links to his poetry, it also includes his short stories, fictions, non fictions, and plays. Overall, I think that this is the better site for finding all the information you need on W.B. Yeats.
