A.E. Housman - With Rue My Heart Is Laden

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.

Many minor poets do. Judy from United States Comment 2 of 3, added on October 4th, 2005 at 6:22 PM. Makes me think of lads and lasses Ive known and lost.
