The Fairies Break Their Dances
July 5, 2023Now Hollow Fires Burn Out to Black
July 5, 2023Oh, 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,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they’ll say that I
Am quite myself again.
A. E. Housman

He is known for his melancholic and nostalgic poetry, which often explored themes of unrequited love and the passing of time. Some of his most famous works include "A Shropshire Lad", "Last Poems", and "More Poems".
