Abstract
Upon reading "when you are old" by William Butler Yeats, one may think that it is just the lament of an old woman; this may be true on the surface, but a more in-depth reading will show that it is actually a heart-felt love letter from a former lover. when the poem is dissected and analyzed, it not only tells the reader the old woman's life story, but also gives insights into the narrator. What makes this poem so interesting is that the reader learns about two characters at the same time and may not even realize it. Though only three stanzas in length, the reader is able to take with them the biography of the subject of the poem and have an understanding as to why someone would want to write such a for her.
