We'll to the weeds no more...

Alfred Edward Housman

We'll to the weeds no more, The laurels are all cut, The bowers are bare of bay That once the Muses wore;

The year draws in the day And soon will evening shut: The laurels all are cut, We'll to the woods no more.

Oh we'll no more, no more To the leafy woods away, To the high wild woods of laurel And the bowers of bay no more.
