FastSaying

The thoughts of others
Were light and fleeting,
Of lovers' meeting
Or luck or fame.
Mine were of trouble,
And mine were steady;
So I was ready
When trouble came.

A.E. Housman

Are tied to sever.

Untrue for ever.

And sleep you fast for aye;
And luckier may you find the night
Than ever you found the day.

Here of a Sunday morning / My love and I would lie, / And see the coloured counties, / And hear the larks so high / About us in the sky.
