O DO NOT LOVE TOO LONG
SWEETHEART, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other’s,
We were so much at one.
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other’s,
We were so much at one.
But O, in a minute she changed —
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.
--W.B.Yeats
THE LOVER PLEADS WITH HIS FRIEND FOR OLD FRIENDS
THOUGH you are in your shining days,
Voices among the crowd
And new friends busy with your praise,
Be not unkind or proud,
But think about old friends the most:
Time’s bitter flood will rise,
Your beauty perish and be lost
For all eyes but these eyes.
