A. E. Housman (1859–1936). A Shropshire Lad. 1896.

XVIII. Oh, when I was in love with you


OH, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.

And now the fancy passes by,	5
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they ’ll say that I
Am quite myself again.
