Read "XVIII" by A. E. Housman.Oh, when I was in love with you, Then I was clean and brave,And miles around the wonder grew How well did I behave.And now the fancy passes by, And nothing will remain,And miles around they’ll say that I Am quite myself again.

The poem is brief, with just eight lines arranged in two compact stanzas. Its regular rhythm and rhymes, such as “brave” and “behave,” give it a musical quality. So the best choice is “short length and musical quality.”
