A Shropshire Lad
A Song-cycle by ARTHUR SOMERVELL to poems by A. E. Housman Loveliest of trees
When I was one-and-twenty
There pass the careless people In summertime on Bredon
The street sounds to the soldiers' tread
On the idle hill of summer
White in the moon the long road lies
Think no more, lad, laugh, and be jolly
Into my heart an air that kills The lads in their hundreds sung by JAMES CHRISTIANSEN (baritone) WILFRID PARRY (piano) France: Tuesday
