Because I liked you better Lyrics by Lennox Berkeley

Five Housman Songs (Op. 14, No. 3)

0

Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say
It irked you, and I promised
To throw the thought away
To put the world between us
We parted, stiff and dry;
"Good-bye," said you, "forget me."
"I will, no fear," said I
If here, where clover whitens
The dead man's knoll, you pass
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass
Halt by the headstone naming
The heart no longer stirred
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word
