That call their souls their own:
Here by the road I loiter,
How idle and alone.

Beneath the blue of day
That gives to man or woman
His heart and soul away.

From east of earth to west
That's lost for everlasting
The heart out of his breast.

With empty hands I stroll:
Sea-deep, till doomsday morning,
Lie lost my heart and soul. — A.E. Housman
