curategg: If anyone thinks of A.E. Housman today, other than English majors, it's as the author of gloomy poems about dying athletes. But he wrote some funny stuff, like this poem for his godson. Would not be approved by the SPCA
Ramoon_hilario: Here dead lie we
Because we did not choose
To live and shame the land
From which we sprung.
Life, to be sure,
Is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

The dead man's knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,

And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.

AndrewMackeyUK: Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

... If you come to a road where danger
Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share,
Be good to the lad that loves you true
And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I'll be there.

Just been to a cafe as is my want. Sitting on my own minding my own business reading poems by A.E. Housman. A Downs Syndrome woman about 20 (difficult to tell age), stopped and said "Are you alright", I said very politely 'I'm fine thank you'. I was in pain!

and mine were steady;
so I was ready
when trouble came.
