The Tower (poem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Tower" is a poem by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. It is the second poem in The Tower, a 1928 collection of Yeats' poems.
The poem features Yeats wrestling with his old age. He contemplates the foolish actions of his neighbors and wonders how they responded to their own aging, then celebrates the Anglo-Irish people and offers them his "faith and pride" as an inheritance.[1]
