andyojones: WITH rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.
By brooks too broad for leaping
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.
A.E. Housman
"Too broad" gets me!

Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
Falls the remorseful day."

regcrawford3: Appropriately for Ash Wednesday, this is the first ‘Lenten lily’ variety of daffodil to bloom in the arboretum. It came into flower today. Here’s A E Housman’s rather dark lines from The Lent Lily:
And there’s the Lenten lily
That has not long to stay
And dies on Easter Day.
haymanfelix: “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.”

Between the sea and land
What shall I build or write
Against the fall of night?
Tell me of runes to grave
That hold the bursting wave,

For longer date than mine." - A.E. Housman

And cannot come again.

Nabin18329086: Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say,
It irked you, and I promised
To throw the thought away.
To put the world between us
We parted, stiff and dry;
‘Good-bye,’ said you, ‘forget me.’
‘I will, no fear’, said I.

And hear the harness jingle

stocktonlibrary: This evening Deb is reading 'On Wenlock Edge' by A.E Housman' from 'Friends, A Poem for Every Day of the Year'. Check it out:
HearsayTerence: I promise nothing: friends will part;
All things may end, for all began;
And truth and singleness of heart
Are mortal even as is man.
But this unlucky love should last
When answered passions thin to air;
Eternal fate so deep has cast
Its sure foundation of despair.
