Oh Stay At Home, My Lad, And Plough

Author: A. E. Housman [More Titles by Housman]

Oh stay at home, my lad, and plough
The land and not the sea,
And leave the soldiers at their drill,
And all about the idle hill
Shepherd your sheep with me.

Oh stay with company and mirth
And daylight and the air;
Too full already is the grave
Of fellows that were good and brave
And died because they were.

[The end]
A. E. Housman's poem: Oh Stay At Home, My Lad, And Plough
