Explore "Men Improve with the Years" by W.B. Yeats on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I am worn out with dreams; / A weather-worn, marble triton / Among the streams; / And all day long I look / Upon this lady's beauty / As though I had found in book / A pictured beauty, / Pleased to have filled the eyes / Or the discerning ears, / Delighted to be but wise, / For men improve with the years; / And yet and yet / Is this my dream, or the truth?
O would that we had met / When I had my burning youth; / But I grow old among dreams, / A weather-worn, marble triton / Among the streams.
