• A. E. Housman When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue. And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

A. E. Housman - When I was one-and-twenty 
 I heard him say again, 
 The heart out of the bosom 
 Was never given in vain; 
 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty 
 And sold for endless rue. 
 And I am two-and-twenty 
 And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue. And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true. by : A. E. Housman
