A Man Young And Old: III. The Mermaid by William Butler Yeats
To some degree, how I will describe a few parts of this year:
A Man Young And Old: III. The Mermaid
William Butler YeatsA mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
