About

William Butler Yeats was a well-known 20th century Irish poet. He published The Wind Among the Reeds in 1899 – his 8th book in a developing poetry career.

This poem is descriptive of Yeats' conflicts as a new poet, and reflects the esoteric themes used frequently in his earlier works.

The Poet pleads with his Friend for old Friends Annotated

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.
