Title:     I Thought No More Was Needed [song]
Author: William Butler Yeats [More Titles by Yeats]

Youth to prolong
Than dumb-bell and foil
To keep the body young.
Oh, who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

Though I have many words,
What woman's satisfied,
I am no longer faint
Because at her side?
Oh, who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

I have not lost desire
But the heart that I had,
I thought 'twould burn my body
Laid on the death-bed.
But who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

[The end]
William Butler Yeats's poem: I Thought No More Was Needed [song]
