Poem 40 from A Shropshire Lad (Into My Heart)\nby AE Housman (1859 \u2013 1936)\n\nInto my heart on air that kills\n From yon far country blows:\nWhat are those blue remembered hills,\n What spires, what farms are those?\n \nThat is the land of lost content, \n I see it shining plain,\nThe happy highways where I went\n And cannot come again.\n\nFirst aired: 24 November 2009\n\nFor hundreds more poetry readings, visit the Classic Poetry Aloud index.\n\nReading \xa9 Classic Poetry Aloud 2009
