To be Carved on A Stone at Thoor Ballylee (Poem by William Butler Yeats)

To be Carved on A Stone at Thoor Ballylee

By William Butler Yeats

I, the poet William Yeats,

With old mill boards and sea-green slates,

And smithy work from the Gort forge,

Restored this tower for my wife George;

And may these characters remain

When all is ruin once again.
