Nobby, you mean? But he's away with the camels again, isn't he?

Is there a clear understanding of what, exactly, this phrase means?

Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
