I know Donovan recorded this song way back when, and I sing it thus: How high the gulls fly o'er Isle Islay How sad a farm lad deep in play I felt like a seed in your land How well the sheep's bell music makes Roam o'er the cliffs where fancy takes I felt like a grain of your sand How blessed the forest with bird song How neat the cut peat laid so long I felt like a seed in your land Is this traditional? If not, does anyone know who wrote it? It is soooo beautiful!
