Here you will find the Poem It Nods and Curtseys and Recovers of poet Alfred Edward Housman

It Nods and Curtseys and Recovers

It nods and curtseys and recovers 
When the wind blows above, 
The nettle on the graves of lovers 
That hanged themselves for love. 

The nettle nods, the wind blows over, 
The man, he does not move, 
The lover of the grave, the lover 
That hanged himself for love.
