When a man grows old his joy Grows more deep day after day, His empty heart is full at length But he has need of all that strength Because of the increasing Night That opens her mystery and fright.

When a man grows old his joy Grows more deep day after day, His empty heart is full at length But he has need of all that strength Because of the increasing Night That opens her mystery and fright.

William Butler Yeats

Fear, Heart, Night

William Butler Yeats (2011). “Selected Poems And Four Plays”, p.210, Simon and Schuster

William Butler Yeats

Lonely, Nature, Fear
