Subject: RE: Poems set to music
I have posted previously that John Renbourn set John Donne's

"Song : Goe, and catch a Falling Star" ; and IMO a bloody good job he made of it.

An old mate from the Manchester scene, Pete Astles, made a setting of another of Donne's songs "Swetest love, I doo not goe . . . ".

I once set Burn's poem "Bonnie Lesley". Least said, soonest mended.
