A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 32 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM FAR, FROM EVE AND MORNING
Last Line: I TAKE MY ENDLESS WAY.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; MOURNING; BEREAVEMENT;

From far, from eve and morning
And yon twelve-winded sky.,
The stuff of life to knit me
Blew hither: here am I.

Now - for a breath I tarry
Nor yet disperse apart-
Take my hand quick and tell me,
What have you in your heart.

Speak now, and I will answer;
How shall I help you, say;
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters
I take my endless way.
