That gives to man.html">man or woman
From east of earth.html">earth.html">earth.html">earth to west
The heart out of his breast.
Here by the labouring highway
Sea-deep, till doomsday morning,
They mirror true the sight I see.html">see,
And love.html">love.html">love it and be lost like me.
Spent in star-defeated sighs,
Perish? gaze not in my eyes.
A Grecian lad, as I hear tell,
Looked into a forest well
There, when the turf in springtime flowers,
Stands amid the glancing showers
When the wind.html">wind blows above,
That hanged themselves for love.
The nettle nods, the wind blows over,
The lover.html">lover of the grave, the lover
Here stood I to keep the goal:
For the young man's soul.
Now in May time to the wicket
See the son of grief at cricket
Wonder 'tis how little mirth
On the bed of earth.

Oh, when I was in love with you,
And miles around the wonder grew
And nothing will remain,
Am quite myself again.

TO AN ATHLETE DYING YOUNG
The time you won your town.html">town the race
Man and boy stood cheering by,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
And early though the laurel grows
Cannot see the record cut,
After earth has stopped the ears:
Now you will not swell the rout
Runners whom renown outran
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head
And find unwithered on its curls
But I know fairer far:
That in the water are;
The pools and rivers wash so clean
The like on earth was never seen,
As I stand gazing down
.
