anonymouscomm14: Good creatures, do you love your lives
And have you ears for sense?

And earth's foundations will depart
And all you folk will die.

alienstokes: Mood:
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]

And nought to help it in this dull head:
Shake hands, here’s luck, good-bye.

-A.E. Housman
Sp0on5: But if you come to a road where danger

And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I’ll be there.
