Thread Name: poetry by Douglas Hyde / de Hide
Subject: RE: Douglas de Hide's poetry
Defeated again. Online, at last, at Hathitrust digital collections, I had free open access to the book of poems, "Ubhla de 'n Craoibh." Went through the book, cover to cover.
No humming of the bees -- maybe two dozen other poems, but not that poem.
So I am still hunting for a proper edition copy of the poem that begins
"is aoibhinn crónán na mbeach bhfiadain"
which speaks of
"the delightful humming of the bees in their nest in the field"
