Thread Name: Origin/Meaning: Crow on the Cradle (Sydney Carter)
Subject: RE: Origin/Meaning: Crow on the Cradle (Sydney Carter)
I did wonder if the crow was inspired by the Morrigan of Irish legend, who sometimes appears as a crow. The Morrigan often foretold death in battle (in the Cuchulainn legends a crow lands on him at the moment of his death).
