Answer 3

It's known as "I heard an old religious man" by William Butler Yeats. Here's the rest of it:

Never shall a young man,
Thown into despair
By those great honey-coloured
Ramparts at your ear,
Love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.

But I shall get a hair dye,
And set such colour there,
Brown or black or carrot
That young men in despair
Shall love me for myself alone
And not my yellow hair.

I heard an old religious man
But yesternight declare
That he had found a text to prove
That god alone my dear
Can love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.

And set such colour there,
Brown or black or carrot
That young men in despair
Shall love me for myself alone
And not my yellow hair.

Thrown into despair
