When I came last to Ludlow <br />Amidst the moonlight pale, <br />Two friends kept step beside me, <br />Two honest friends and hale. <br /> <br />Now Dick lies long in the churchyard, <br />And Ned lies long in jail, <br />And I come home to Ludlow <br />Amidst the moonlight pale.<br /><br />Alfred Edward Housman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-came-last-to-ludlow/
