I'd still like to find out more about "Colm Cille Na Feile".

Cheers,

I sing this to a Donegal tune called "Colm Cille Na Feile". Anyone know background on it?

Helo all, and a happy spring to you! I'd like to share a song I wrote about this time of year.


APRIL MORNING

Arise now, spring is coming, the hummingbirds are humming
The streams with snowmelt running, the meadows are in bloom

We walk the roads together, all over moor and heather
Let balmy April weather dispel the winter's gloom

Lift up your voice, and praise this April morning
Lift up your heart, and feel the spirit soar

The morning air is ringing, as the lark on high is winging
Exuberantly singing, as if all the world was new

We'll meet the crossroads dancing, with summer fast advancing
My mind is on romancing, my heart is set on you

Come to my arms, and let our heartbeats mingle
Stay by my side, this moment cannot last

The corn will be in flower, the sun in all its power
Brings bounty to the bower, with all things at their best

So the seasons keep on turning, from Bealtaine fires burning
To frost at last returning, to lay the land to rest

Round we go, round the turning of the seasons
Up and down, like the turning of a wheel
