A Shropshire Lad
And plain for her to understand
They talk about a time at hand
When I shall sleep with clover clad,
And she beside another lad
They talk about a time at hand
When I shall sleep with clover clad,
And she beside another lad

XXVII
'Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?'
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?'
Ay, the horses trample,
The harness jingles now;
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough.
The harness jingles now;
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough.
