“Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say,
It irked you, and I promised
I'd throw the thought away.
To put the world between us
We parted stiff and dry:
'Farewell,' said you, 'forget me.'
'Fare well, I will,' said I.
If e'er, where clover whitens
The dead man's knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,
Halt by the headstone shading
The heart you have not stirred,
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.”
― A.E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad

“All knots that lovers tie
Are tied to sever.
Here shall your sweetheart lie,
Untrue for ever.”
― A.E. Housman, More Poems
Are tied to sever.
Here shall your sweetheart lie,
Untrue for ever.”
― A.E. Housman, More Poems
“Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.”
― A.E. Housman
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.”
― A.E. Housman
