He would not stay for me, and who can wonder



He would not stay for me, and who can wonder
A. E. Housman, 1859 - 1936

 He would not stay for me, and who can wonder?
  He would not stay for me to stand and gaze.
I shook his hand, and tore my heart in sunder,
  And went with half my life about my ways.
