A Shropshire Lad
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

Oh fair enough are sky and plain,
But I know fairer far:
Those are as beautiful again
That in the water are;
But I know fairer far:
Those are as beautiful again
That in the water are;
The pools and rivers wash so clean
The trees and clouds and air,
The like on earth was never seen,
And oh that I were there.
The trees and clouds and air,
The like on earth was never seen,
And oh that I were there.
