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 lightfood lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping
 The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping 
 In fields where roses fade.

by Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936) , no title, from A Shropshire Lad, no. 54, published 1896
