Three Yeats Songs

Song Cycle by John Eaton (1935 - 2015)

?. Girl's song  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
I went out alone
To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.

Another came in sight
That on a stick relied
To hold himself upright;
I sat and cried.

And that was all my song -
When everything is told,
Saw I an old man young
Or young man old?
