A Shropshire Lad/When I came last to Ludlow

by Alfred Edward Housman

LVIII

When I came last to LudlowAmidst the moonlight pale,Two friends kept step beside me,Two honest lads and hale.

Now Dick lies long in the churchyardAnd Ned lies long in jail,And I come home to LudlowAmidst the moonlight pale.
