These
in the days when heaven was falling
the hour when earth's foundations fled
followed their mercenary calling
What God abandoned
these defended
and saved the sum of things for pay...

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

#AEHouseman #AShropshireLad

With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lip 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.
