When You Are Old - W. B. Yeats read by Cillian Murphy | Powerful Life Poetry
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. - Plato
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.

William Wordsworth was a revered English poet who was, in part, responsible for kick-starting the Romantic movement in English literature.

The life and rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah
The British poet has died at the age of 65. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago, his Instagram page stated.
