Original artwork, not a still
Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those?

Housman's speaker feels a wistful pang from a distant country he can see only in memory. Blue hills, spires and farms rise up as questions, half-recognised and painfully far away. Nostalgia here arrives like a sweet poison.
