A Shropshire Lad
LVIII
When I came last to Ludlow
Amidst the moonlight pale,
Two friends kept step beside me,
Two honest lads and hale.
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.
And Ned lies long in jail,
And I come home to Ludlow
Amidst the moonlight pale.

THE ISLE OF PORTLAND
The star-filled seas are smooth to-night
From France to England strown;
Black towers above the Portland light
The felon-quarried stone.
From France to England strown;
Black towers above the Portland light
The felon-quarried stone.
