Give Me A Land of Boughs In Leaf - Alfred Housman

Woodland - East Dunbartonshire 22nd June, 2012 
Give me a land of boughs in leaf, 
A land of trees that stand; 
Where trees are fallen, there is grief; 
I love no leafless land. 
Alas, the country whence I fare, 
It is where I would stay; 
And where I would not, it is there 
That I shall be for aye. 
And one remembers and forgets
But 'tis not found again, 
Not though they hale in crimsoned nets 
The sunset from the main.
