About This Image

A.E. Housman – Loveliest of Trees Poem Metal Print by Mark Tisdale.

This poem metal print features the beautiful poem “Loveliest of Trees” by A.E. Housman. It was written about 1895 and published in his 1896 book of poetry titled “A Shropshire Lad.” When I read this poem for the first time in a high school English class it spoke to me. All these years later it still speaks to me even as the seasons pass by with wearying speed!

I was inspired to try my hand at illustrating this poem as you can see in this poem metal print. It features the text of the poem and the title along with A.E. Housman’s name. I figure I must not be the only person out there who was so moved by this poem to have it live in their heads years after reading it the first time. In fact, in my 20’s I bought a copy of A Shropshire Lad to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it but this will always remain the one poem that deeply connected to me for some reason.

The text of the poem follows in case you’re on a device where reading the image is more difficult.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

I hope you enjoy the art I worked on to go with this favorite poem of mine. And if you’ve never encountered it before, I hope you find the message to make the most of time as meaningful and motivational as I have over the years.

Metal Prints – Product Information

Metal prints are a contemporary and stylish choice that will arrive at your door ready to hang.

The artwork is printed on a 1/16″ thick sheet of aluminum that is then mounted on a 3/4″ thick wooden frame. The wooden frame is recessed from the edge of the print giving the appearance of a thin high-gloss metal print that appears to be offset from your wall.

Each metal print is made to your order and printed using archival quality materials that should last a lifetime. Metal prints take 5 to 7 business days to produce and are shipped directly to you in sturdy packaging.

The only decision you will have to make when ordering your metal print is how large you would like it to be.

If you encounter difficulty accessing the on-site purchase button at the top of the page, please use this button to shop directly from Pixels/Fine Art America, the vendor who handles fulfillment for these products. And please notify me!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
