Shake Hands by A. E. Housman (read by Ben W Smith)

[@thomashogan4908]

Houseman has always broken my heart. I have thought of this poem so many times; it has often suited my own heart. Perfectly read.

Thank you Thomas - and yes, it’s a very moving poem.

Yet another reading full of understanding, esp the second stanza. Bra--vo! (Can there be ANY poet greater than AE Housman? No!)

[@benreadspoetry7958]

Thanks so much Christine - and I am a fellow lover of Housman!
