about

Unlike Housman, whose poem I've set here, I do hope to ‘come again’ to the county many times more before I exchange my guitars for a golden harp. There's an alternative version on the later 'Brookland Voices' album.

lyrics

‘A Shropshire Lad’ XL

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.
