when you are old by William Butler Yeats

[rachelhopson1]

this music has noting to do with the great "Yeats...almost insulting to all irish men and women...seriously?

[SELFGOVERMENT]

Well, "shake that ass on me" is the niggers' way of being "poetic" ...it's from the extensive NTV genre called "Muh Dick" nigger buck bellowing ... ,

[MakeUpBySally]

[donnycar]

[sunipsen]

Had I the Heaven's embroidered cloths. Yeats

[curriedmussels]

because it is inappropriate, distracting and disrespectful?

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

The pace was fast, thank God, but you could have slowed down here and there. Why do people think that something is more grand when it's spoken at a draggy pace rather than "trippingly on the tongue"?

I liked the somewhat odd but nice beginning and end. Oddness is very Irish indeed.

[RamblinTroubadour]

calling stuff "Irish" is very american indeed

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Indeed

[pablomelendez]

This is hilarious.

[rihannajb]

i wanna no how the pace of this poem is for my hum h/w.... someone respond and tell me if this was the right pace

[smilenoodles]

I love this mans voice, it is so beautiful, read as if he loves and means every word. Much more impressive that the insincerity of Matthew Macfadyen.

and yeah...I overlooked the odd introduction and end music...:)

[PoohBear02003]

Cool poem!!!

[sft62]

I've always loved this poem.

It sounds great when delivered with your Irish accent.

Thanks for sharing it.

Nice soft reading Brendan. I think, if I remember rightly, he wrote this for Maud Gonne, who he loved but who didn't return his love - or not in the way he wanted. Chas.

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Yes, Maude Gunne, who preferred a man of action to a man of words.

[DGRQ]
