With rue my heart is laden

by A. E. Housman·1896·A Shropshire Lad
a-e-housman/ #lyric#grief#youth#1890s

First published in A Shropshire Lad (London: Kegan Paul, 1896).

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.
