Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs about St. Brigid
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St. Brigid In Song- got any?
Sorry I didn't catch this in time, but hope you got to celebrate, anyway. "Gabhaim Molta Bríde" [from Áine Cooke at Mudcat http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/8998/molta_bride.html]

Next time with one of these (date-related) comes up ask me direct. I will instantly consult the "Happy!" file and answer. (In most cases.)

Also, since it coincides with Candlemas Eve, you can recite:

If the sun shines bright on Candlemas Day, The half of the winter's not yet away

English Folk-Rhymes, GF Northall, 1892.
