O DO NOT LOVE TOO LONG
by: William Butler Yeats
(1865-1939)
 WEETHEART, 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.
