The poem 'On Being Asked for a War Poem; is written by English Poet William Butler Yeats. Text of the poem: I think it better that in times like these A poet's mouth be silent, for in truth We have no gift to set a statesman right; He has had enough of meddling who can please A young girl in the indolence of her youth, Or an old man upon a winter’s night.
