 Recollecting Memories I must have walked the green that day A red-haired maiden gone astray Across the hills of Ireland I must have walked the green that day The muse and music call again Fairies keen and brogue within Somewhere deep within my skin I must have come from Ireland Far and away the mists still call Down the lane stands he so tall I must have walked the green that day As my feet still feel the music’s sway They say that magic’s left this world But I would bid you wrong, dear Sir! For across the winds of time it comes The music that makes my heart still stir! By ‘lectric candle’s lighting, dear I hear the pipe and fiddle play And I walk again the greener fields A red-haired maiden gone astray For music and muse they call again Fairies keen and brogue within Somewhere deep within my skin My thoughts take me to Ireland ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 3 February 2002 Photo courtesy of http://www.artchive.com/artchive/C/courbet/jo.jpg.html |

For music and muse they call again Fairies keen and brogue within Somewhere deep within my skin My thoughts take me to Ireland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh Kari, I feel as though I should be singing this one and not just reading it. Talk about 'the lilt of Irish laughter', this one has a rhythm and rhyme that made me want to sing it out loud. Beautiful! Thank you for this gem! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

This is very well done. I think some of your best are when you feel yourself of another generation. Thanks for sharing it. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
