I can only remember fragments but I'm pretty sure its by an Irish poet (I tried Yeats, MacNeice, Heaney...)

Its a man sitting at a cafe in London, and he's either fifty-two, fifty, or fifty-five. Its a short poem and it basically remarks about how he is content with his life.

ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY and I can't find it! Any ideas? Sound familiar?

I tried searching "Yeats et MacNeice" in google and some other words but I couldn't find it.

type in google or whatever program you use Irish Poets it will give you a listing of many there. That is how I found the 2 above.
