A Shropshire Lad

Summary

Sixty-three short poems of A. E. Housman's 1896 volume mourn young men who die early, soldiers, ploughboys and lovers, in the setting of the Shropshire hills and the market towns. They include 'Loveliest of trees', 'To an Athlete Dying Young' and 'Is my team ploughing'.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
