Thread Name: poet songs
Subject: poet songs
Looking at the Go No More A Roving thread got me thinking about this again. I have played with the idea of a program of songs with words by noted poets, either material they wrote for songs, or poems later set to music. Some of my favorites are: Kipling's A Smuggler's Song, Yeats Wandering Angus, the Byron Go No More A Roving which got me started on this, Poe's Annabelle Lee, The Highwayman (who wrote that??) and Burns Song Composed In August.

What are your favorites?
