Image Text Author A. E. Housman Year 1939 Text Ask me no more, for fear I should reply; Others have held their tongues, and so can I, Hundreds have died, and told no tale befoer: Ask me no more, for fear I should reply -- How one was true and one was clean of stain And one was braver than the heavens are high, And one was fond of me: and all are slain. Ask me no more, for fear I should reply. Publisher Henry Holt and Company
