A Shropshire Lad

Nothing stands that stood before;
There revenges are forgot,
And the hater hates no more;
Nothing stands that stood before;
There revenges are forgot,
And the hater hates no more;
Lovers lying two and two
Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the bridegroom all night through
Never turns him to the bride.
Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the bridegroom all night through
Never turns him to the bride.

But not your heart away;
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
