Subject: RE: Info on song [Piper, June, 'Moonlit Glade']
...I heard a piper playing beside a churchyard wall
I seemed to see sweet eyes of old and hear old voices call
I heard a piper playing I know not what his tune
But all that churchyard was awake, beneath that fairy moom

And ever in the sunlight and ever through the rain
I hear the piper playing again and yet again
He plays the tunes of yesterday, the songs of long ago
And some are glad and some are sad, for love will have it so

We sang this at a school music festival in 1965 and I've never forgotten it.
