A. E. Housman
A Shropshire Lad and Other Poems: The Collected Poems of A. E. Housman
by A. E. Housman
Eight O'Clock
He stood, and heard the steeple
Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.
One, two, three, four, to market-place and people
It tossed them down.
Strapped, noosed, nighing his hour,
He stood and counted them and cursed his luck;
And then the clock collected in the tower
Its strength, and struck.
