What is Understanding "When You Are Old" Poem about?
The poem addresses an English heiress and Irish revolutionary named Maud Gonne. It reflects on how she was once beautiful and admired, but has grown older, as represented by the line "and loved the sorrows of your changing face". The poet himself was the "one man" who loved her soul and changing face. In the future, the poem says she will sadly recall how love has fled and hidden amid the stars. The mood is soothing and calming, expressing feelings of loss and life passing by.
