The Coming of Wisdom with Time
William Butler Yeats
1865 to 1939
Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
William Butler Yeats's The Coming of Wisdom with Time
I am busy working to bring William Butler Yeats's "The Coming of Wisdom with Time" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about William Butler Yeats's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Coming of Wisdom with Time" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
