A Shropshire Lad/When I came last to Ludlow

by Alfred Edward Housman

LVIII

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

Now Dick lies long in the churchyard
And Ned lies long in jail,
And I come home to Ludlow
Amidst the moonlight pale.
