• A. E. Housman Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.

A. E. Housman - Now, of my threescore years and ten, 
 Twenty will not come again, 
 And take from seventy springs a score, 
 It only leaves me fifty more. 
  
 And since to look at things in bloom 
 Fifty springs are little room, 
 About the woodlands I will go 
 To see the cherry hung with snow.
Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow. by : A. E. Housman
