The rainy Pleiads wester

The rainy Pleiads wester,
Orion plunges prone,
The stroke of midnight ceases
And I lie down alone.


The rainy Pleiads wester,
And seek beyond the sea
The head that I shall dream of
That will not dream of me.

A. E. Housman was an English poet and classical scholar. His poetry is renowned for its lyrical beauty, melancholic tone, and exploration of themes such as mortality, the brevity of life, and the harsh realities of human experience. Housman's distinctive style, often characterized by its stoicism and elegiac quality, has secured his place as a significant voice in English verse.
