When You Are Old 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 年少时不知道老是怎么一回事，以为就是样子变难看了一点的少年，以为就是空到可以天天读诗歌的日子，以为就是自己所有傻念头可以得到证明的那一天。
