A SHROPSHIRE LAD
'I wish you strength to bring you pride,
And a love to keep you clean,
And I wish you luck, come Lammastide,
At racing on the green.
And a love to keep you clean,
And I wish you luck, come Lammastide,
At racing on the green.
'Long for me the rick will wait,
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold.'
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold.'

IX
On moonlit heath and lonesome bank
The sheep beside me graze;
And yon the gallows used to clank
Fast by the four cross ways.
The sheep beside me graze;
And yon the gallows used to clank
Fast by the four cross ways.
