Description

On the idle hill of summer,
      Sleepy with the flow of streams,
Far I hear the steady drummer
      Drumming like a noise in dreams.

Far and near and low and louder
      On the roads of earth go by,
Dear to friends and food for powder,
      Soldiers marching, all to die.

East and west on fields forgotten
      Bleach the bones of comrades slain,
Lovely lads and dead and rotten;
      None that go return again.

Far the calling bugles hollo,
      High the screaming fife replies,
Gay the files of scarlet follow:
      Woman bore me, I will rise.



The Shropshire Lad, impeccably read by Alan Bates. A rip from a 2 CD set 'complete in verse and song'. About half are read, but, rather annoyingly, a few of the better known are not. I add a further selection from a variety of sources and also a bbc feature on the poem with Simon Russell Beale.

Housman is not as great a poet as his approximate contempories Thomas Hardy or W.B.Yeats. But he is perhaps valued as highly if only because, in the wake of the First War, the poetry acquired an added plangency. (Their actual historical background is in fact the Boer War) An analogue is the emotion aroused by the Tallis Variations or the first movement of Elgar's Cello Concerto, both written at about the same time.

(Kindly seed, and if you can't find a seed for any previous poetry torrent go to the folder 'Current Poetry Torrents' and follow the instructions on the pdf.)
