Did he who made the lamb make thee?” The “stars” are probably a symbol of God’s angels. This can be backed up by the scripture at Job 38:7 which says:“…When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause?” The imagery of the poem seems to support this, as it could only be spirit creatures who “water’d heaven ...

In the last verse of When you are Old, William Butler Yeats uses personification of love to enhance the image of the late lover waiting for the elderly woman.
