William Butler Yeats - On Being Asked For A War Poem
Work rating: Medium

I THINK it better that in times like these
A poet`s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right;
He has had enough of meddling who can please
A young girl in the indolence of her youth,
Or an old man upon a winter`s night.
