“O Do Not Love too Long” by W. B. Yeats 🇮🇪 (13 Jun 1865 – 28 Jan 1939)
Sweetheart, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
​
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other’s,
We were so much at one.
​
But O, in a minute she changed—
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.
