Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

A Shropshire Lad

Warm and breathing through the street
Where I lodge a little while,

What use to rise and rise?
Rise man a thousand mornings
Yet down at last he lies,

And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Come you home a hero,
Or come not home at all,

“And here’s a bloody hand to shake,
And oh, man, here’s good-bye;

A Shropshire Lad

A better lad, if things went right,
Than most that sleep outside.

In steeples far and near,
A happy noise to hear.

JOAN _A peasant woman_
