Last Poems

A.E. Housman

Last Poems was the last of the two volumes of poems which A. E. Housman published during his lifetime. Of the 42 poems there, seventeen were given titles, a greater proportion than in his previous collection, A Shropshire Lad . Although it was not quite so popular with composers, the majority of the poems there have been set to music.

In a world I never made.”
