[08-16] When You Are Old --By William Butler Yeats
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.
1889年，23岁的叶芝遇见女演员、爱尔兰独立运动战士Maud Gonne，并爱上她，他曾多次向她求婚，但均遭拒绝，但他终生爱慕着她，为她写了许多诗。《当你老了》就是其中一首。
