XL. Into my heart on air that kills. Housman, A. E. 1896. A Shropshire Lad

A. E. Housman (1859–1936). A Shropshire Lad. 1896.

XL. Into my heart on air that kills


INTO my heart on 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,	5
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
