So, we'll go no more a roving
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"So, we'll go no more a roving" is a poem, written by Lord (George Gordon) Byron (1788–1824), and included in a letter to Thomas Moore on February 28, 1817. Moore published the poem in 1830 as part of Letters and Journals of Lord Byron.
It describes the fatigue of age conquering the restlessness of youth. Byron wrote the poem at age twenty-nine.
The poem appears as "Go No More A-Roving" on the 2004 Leonard Cohen album, Dear Heather. It is also recorded by Mike Westbrook on his 1998 The Orchestra of Smith's Academy album. Richard Dyer-Bennet recorded his own setting, with slightly altered text, on the 1955 album "Richard Dyer-Bennet 1". The poem is also a centerpiece of "...And The Moon Be Still As Bright" from Ray Bradbury's novel, The Martian Chronicles.
