A Shropshire Lad and Other Poems: The Collected Poems of A. E. Housman by A. E. Housman
O why do you walk through the fields in boots,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody shoots,
Why do you walk through the fields in boots,
When the grass is soft as the breast of coots
And shivering-sweet to the touch?
