Lamentation of the old Pensioner👳👳

The poem Lamentation of the old pensioner is composed by W.B Yeats. THE title of the poem suggests that the poet is very old and is living retired life.,

First of all read the poem :
Although I shelter from the rain
Under a broken tree
My chair was nearest to the fire
In every company
Tha talked of love or politics,
Ere Time transfigured me.

Though lads are making pikes again
For come conspiracy,
And crazy rascals rage their fill
At human tyaranny.
My contemplations are of Time
That has transfigured me.

There's not a woman turns her face
Upon abroken tree,
And yet the beauties that I loved
Are in my memory;
I split into the face of Time
That has transfigured me.

In poem,poet has presented his memory of his past life when he was young and compares it with his present old age .
In course of spending monotonous life, he recalls his past life , his happy and pleasant youth .He mentions that his youth was full of vigour,joy and activities. His companions andeven beautiful girls will rally him when he was young .

Love as well as politics were his gossip with his companions. He used to involved in politics to struggle against human tyranny

BUT ,
Now all his power has been his enemy that has now transformed him into the kind of man whose tissues have stopped working .He feels as if he is not in possesion of such weak body.With difficuly ,he is forced to accept this bitter reality.His enthusiasm,liveliness and whatever he could possess then are no more with him .How pitiable the condition he is in !😢
