Or what is the story of Frank McCaffery? Both new to me. Any fans of either? |

Looking for a 'fan' of a historical figure like him appears just odd at best, or so it seems to me anyway. So I supplied some sources of information instead. Take it or leave it, it's all fine. |

03 Sep 22 - 02:58 PM (#4151888) Subject: ADD: Lament for Thomas McDonagh From: Joe Offer LAMENT FOR THOMAS McDONAGH (by Francis Ledwidge / (Song Setting© Frank Callery) He shall not hear the bittern cry In the wild sky where he is lain Nor voices of the sweeter birds Above the wailing of the rain. Nor shall he know when loud March blows Thro' slanting snows her fanfare shrill Blowing to flame the golden cup Of many an upset daffodil. And when the dark cow leaves the moor And pastures poor with greedy weeds Perhaps he'll hear her low at morn Lifting her horn in pleasant meads. He shall not hear the bittern cry In the wild sky where he is lain. from the Frank Callery recording, https://soundcloud.com/frankcallerysongs/lament-for-thomas-macdonagh |
