Friday Poetry: A. E. Housman

Happy Friday Everyone!

My chosen poem this week is by one of my favourite poets.

Shake Hands

Shake hands, we shall never by friends, all's over;
I only vex you the more I try.
All's wrong that ever I've done or said,
And nought to help it in this dull head:
Shake hands, here's luck, good-bye.

But if you come to a road where danger
Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share,
Be good to the lad that loves you true
And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I'll be there.

A. E. Housman
