Into my heart an air that kills

by A. E. Housman·1896·A Shropshire Lad
a-e-housman/ #lyric#exile#memory#1890s

First published in A Shropshire Lad (London: Kegan Paul, 1896).

Into my heart an air that kills
  From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
  What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
  I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
  And cannot come again.
