The Four Ages of Man

 - W.B. Yeats


4 ages of man, baby, youth, adult, old man








He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.

Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.

Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.

Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.
