The Lover Pleads with His Friend for Old Friends, by William Butler Yeats

The Lover Pleads with His Friend for Old Friends

Though you are in your shining days,Voices among the crowdAnd 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 lostFor all eyes but these eyes.
