Sorry about the over-pithy (even for me) message! The poem was written in English about 40 years ago. Tim Dennehy set it to music. Mickey McConnel did the short version. Niamh Parsons has certainly sung it - but I don't think she's recored it.

Regards

p.s. Have you heard Niamh's new CD? Back to the tradition - no more MOR. Its very good.

I see WHY it happened - but not HOW?
