Poem by Alfred Edward Housman


A Shropshire Lad. 40. Into My Heart an Air that Kills


Into my heart an air that kills
   From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
   What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
   I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
   And cannot come again.
