Sneak Peak

‘THE RECRUIT
Leave your home behind, lad,
And reach your friends your hand,
And go, and luck go with you
While Ludlow tower shall stand.

Oh, come you home of Sunday
When Ludlow streets are still
And Ludlow bells are calling
To farm and lane and mill,

Or come you home of Monday
When Ludlow market hums
And Ludlow chimes are playing
"The conquering hero comes,"’

Synopsis

A Shropshire Lad is a collection of sixty-three poems by the English poet Alfred Edward Housman, published in 1896. Composers began setting the poems to music less than ten years after their first appearance, and many parodists have satirized Housman's themes and poetic style.

This collection of classic poems has been praised by critics and scholars alike for its tasteful elegance and mastery of form and emotion. The simple language, strong musical rhythms, and direct emotional appeal held within these works have resulted in a wide readership among the general public. This anthology of poems is among the most read, shared, and quoted in the English language and deals with the changing climate of friendship, the fading of youth, and the vanity of dreams.
