《什羅浦郡一少年》(A Shropshire Lad) 是英國作曲家喬治•巴特沃斯 (George Butterworth, 1885-1916) 以詩人阿爾弗雷德•愛德華•豪斯曼 (Alfred Edward Housman, 1859-1936) 的同名詩集《什羅浦郡一少年》中的六首詩所作的聯篇歌曲。這些詩詞以富涵象徵性與諷刺的手法描寫一個樸實的少年一生中經歷愛情、離別與死亡的心情；作曲家以精巧細膩的方式譜曲，創作出曲風各異的六首歌曲，也呈現出音樂和歌詞之間相互契合的巧思。
本文主要分為五個部份來論述：作曲家喬治•巴特沃斯生平介紹、喬治•巴特沃斯的藝術歌曲、詩人阿爾弗雷德•愛德華•豪斯曼簡介、聯篇歌曲《什羅浦郡一少年》之創作背景、《什羅浦郡一少年》六首歌曲作品分析與詮釋。期許經由本研究能使歌者更加瞭解詩中所潛藏的意涵，以及作曲家如何用音樂來表現詩詞的奧妙，進而以最適切的情緒與歌聲來詮釋本組聯篇歌曲。

A Shropshire Lad by English composer George Butterworth (1885-1916) is a song cycle composed by adopting six poems of the same title “A Shropshire Lad” by Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936). These poems depict the life of a pure young man, which passes through love, separation, and death by symbolical and sarcastic writing skill, and the composer composed the songs exquisitely, creating these six songs with different styles, and presenting his ingenious conception within the music and lyrics.
The study has five major components: an introduction to the composer, George Butterworth; the art songs of George Butterworth; an introduction to the poet Alfred Edward Housman; the composing background of A Shropshire Lad, and the analysis as well as interpretation of six-songs of A Shropshire Lad. It is hoped that through this study, singers can have a better understanding of the hidden meaning of the poems and of how composers use music to express the wonders of poetry. They can then in turn interpret this song cycle in the most apposite mood and with the most appropriate way of singing.
