To be Carved on a Stone at Bal Spire

 I, the verse-man Will B. Yeats,
 With old mill boards and sea-green slates,
 And smith work from the old Gort forge,
 Build back this spire for my wife George;
 And may these words be still carved here
 When all is wrecked once more with wear.

                                -- Will Yeats
