Title:     The Poet Pleads With His Friend For Old Friends
Author: William Butler Yeats [More Titles by Yeats]

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.

[The end]
William Butler Yeats's poem: Poet Pleads With His Friend For Old Friends
