Alfred Edward Housman (Альфред Эдвард Хаусман (Хаусмен))

More Poems. 28. He, Standing Hushed, a Pace or Two Apart

He, standing hushed, a pace or two apart,
        Among the bluebells of the listless plain,
Thinks, and remembers how he cleansed his heart
        And washed his hands in innocence in vain.
