    Whatever has been said, sighed, sung,

    When I had my burning youth!

    Among the streams.”

    Mimicking what they heard, as children mimic;

    My dark declivities.”

    “I wander on, and wave my hands,
    And sing, and shake my heavy locks.
    The grey wolf knows me; by one ear
    I lead along the woodland deer;
    The hares run by me growing bold.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
