A. E. Housman (1859–1936).  A Shropshire Lad.  1896.
 
LIV. 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        5
  The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
  In fields where roses fade.
