Men Improve with the Years

Men Improve with the Years

by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

I am worn out with dreams;A weather-worn, marble tritonAmong the streams;And all day long I lookUpon this lady’s beautyAs though I had found in bookA pictured beauty,Pleased to have filled the eyesOr the discerning ears,Delighted to be but wise,For men improve with the years;And yet and yetIs this my dream, or the truth?O would that we had metWhen I had my burning youth;But I grow old among dreams,A weather-worn, marble tritonAmong the streams.
