When You Are Old (read by Cillian Murphy)
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

I’m old but feel 23. Being old is great, apart from the realisation you are nearer the big sleep. It challenges you to enjoy yourselves in the time you have left. Being old is great, you get up when you want, do what you want, to whom you want, when you want, go where you want and my own favourite, say what you feckin well want. You can’t be sacked. Eventually your time will run out and you will ascend to the skies and there shine with the stars for ever and ever.🇬🇧🇬🇧

Love it’s message and Cillian’s voice as well. Wonderful man with an amazing talent. I love everything He creates. 💚🤍🧡

[@lamoinette23]

oh how i would love to hear that beautiful voice every day ❤

[@1rjbrjb]

I thought the music was fine. The poem of course is genius and was brilliantly recited.
I am 67. I cannot say that anyone loved my pilgrim soul, exactly. But I do not complain because my couch potatoe soul was loved by a few extraordinary people and I am grateful for that, among other things including pizza.

[@dianewallace993]

I could listen to him reciting anything.

[@petermcclenaghan5735]

Hear me once. I can get all the sleep I need when I am dead and buried. I loved my Love and loved the little ones too. Sometimes my Fangs came out but for the Trespassers who came from the Dark and only I returned to my Love from. Bent and Bruised but never Broken for there lies my passion for whom I at service to. My Mother My Sister and my Wife. They will live forever more.

[@TheSteinmetzen]

[@PoeticJustice1]

Thanks for watching!

[@CarolBrown-h4m]

I want to get rid of a stupid small typewriter that has appeared on my tablet. How do i do this ?

[@PoeticJustice1]

I really wish I could assist you but it might be difficult without actually having your phone. Maybe you can google for a solution. Have a great day!

[@steveneardley7541]

Spin around three times clockwise then thrust your index finger up in the air and yell KREEGAHHH!

[@teresitavanderploeg2471]

The music has ruined. He is excellent does not need music to enhance anything.

[@PoeticJustice1]

Thanks for listening and expressing your opinion.

[@DL-pg2ww]

Totally destroyed by the music

[@richardoti]

I respectfully disagree. I feel the music evokes the emotions of this poem perfectly. But I guess, we all enjoy poems differently.

[@fabricemunio8738]

It's not too bad but definitely too loud

[@zsuzsablom6256]

Please no music. Words are enough.

[@Korhh]

A man whispering in my ear without music would feel very strange tbh

[@kushrizla7920]

😂😂

[@umwhatthistime]

He's too young to be reading this. He knows nothing about being old

[@PoeticJustice1]

lol

[@marierodrigues7948]

Merveilleux ! Je pourrais l'écouter pendant des heures...
