Girl's Song
By William Butler Yeats
I went out alone
To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.
Another came in sight
That on a stick relied
To hold himself upright;
I sat and cried.
And that was all my song –
When everything is told,
Saw I an old man young
Or young man old?
This poem is in the public domain.
