Thread Name: Lyr Add: One and Twenty (A E Housman) sound poem
Subject: RE: One and twenty - A E Houseman sound poem

"When I was One and Twenty" was acknowledged by W. B. Yeats to be the inspiration for his poem "Sally Garden". It's normally sung to the same tune.

The only other A. E. Housman poem I know that's set to music is "Thirteen Pence a Day".
