September 1922 by A. E. Housman

An illustration for the story September 1922 by the author A. E. Housman
Mansel Lewis, In The Woods, date unknown
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.
