Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCCEEFFGGHHIICC JJKKLLMMCCDDNNOOAs through the wild green hills of Wyre | A |
The train ran changing sky and shire | A |
And far behind a fading crest | B |
Low in the forsaken west | B |
Sank the high reared head of Clee | C |
My hand lay empty on my knee | D |
Aching on my knee it lay | C |
That morning half a shire away | C |
So many an honest fellow's fist | E |
Had well nigh wrung it from the wrist | E |
Hand said I since now we part | F |
From fields and men we know by heart | F |
For strangers' faces strangers' lands | G |
Hand you have held true fellows' hands | G |
Be clean then rot before you do | H |
A thing they'll not believe of you | H |
You and I must keep from shame | I |
In London streets the Shropshire name | I |
On banks of Thames they must not say | C |
Severn breeds worse men than they | C |
And friends abroad must bear in mind | J |
Friends at home they leave behind | J |
Oh I shall be stiff and cold | K |
When I forget you hearts of gold | K |
The land where I shall mind you not | L |
Is the land where all's forgot | L |
And if my foot returns no more | M |
To Teme nor Corve nor Severn shore | M |
Luck my lads be with you still | C |
By falling stream and standing hill | C |
By chiming tower and whispering tree | D |
Men that made a man of me | D |
About your work in town and farm | N |
Still you'll keep my head from harm | N |
Still you'll help me hands that gave | O |
A grasp to friend me to the grave | O |
A. E. Housman
