a e houseman - in my own shire, if i was sad - ghizela rowe lyrics

in my own shire, if i was sad
homely comforters i had:
the earth, because my heart was sore
sorrowed for the son she bore;
and standing hills, long to remain
shared their short*lived comrade’s pain
and bound for the same bourn as i
on every road i wandered by
trod beside me, close and dear
the beautiful and death*struck year:
whether in the woodland brown
i heard the beechnut rustle down
and saw the purple crocus pale
flowеr about the autumn dale;
or littering far thе fields of may
lady*smocks a*bleaching lay
and like a skylit water stood
the bluebells in the azured wood

yonder, lightening other loads
the seasons range the country roads
but here in london streets i ken
no such helpmates, only men;
and these are not in plight to bear
if they would, another’s care
they have enough as ’tis: i see
in many an eye that measures me
the mortal sickness of a mind
too unhappy to be kind
undone with misery, all they can
is to hate their fellow man;
and till they drop they needs must still
look at you and wish you ill
