It's on Niamh Parsons & The Looses Connections CD "Loosen Up" on Green Linnet GLCD1167 song title there is spelt Clohinne Winds.

There's nothing in the booklet about the song or a Kipling Poem connection just that the words and music are by Briege Murphy, however the lyrics are there.

Here we go....

CLOHINNE WINDS (Briege Murphy)

The shadows fell across the room as I lay down to rest
a storm was raging deep inside my head
I fell into a restless sleep of crazy changing dreams
But woke to find you standing by my bed.

Chorus:
Clohinne winds were blowing when you called me
first you spoke my name, your voice was still the same
You beckoned me and I arose to follow where you led
out among the wild Clohinne hills.

The mountain mist had lent an eerie whiteness to the hill
the silver spider threadings caught my face
You darted through the bracken trailing stardust on your wake
I knew you'd stop beside our sacred place.

(Chorus)

You stopped upon the fairy hill beneath the hawthorn tree
I thought I heard a lonely banshee wail
You held your hand towards me and I reached to touch your face
But woke to find that you were just a dream.

(chorus)

The years have passed and I am growing weary of this earth
the magic of the dream alludes me still
I've lain beneath the fairy tree, I've shouted to the moon
I am the haunted woman of the hill.

Briege Murphy wrote some fantastic songs - if you need to find out was she influenced by a Kipling Poem - you could check her out. Try Chivalry Music - her two cds are called The Longest Road and The Sea and Other stories - she is a highly original and talented songwriter - and a beautiful singer.

It's a rainy morning,and only the cat and I are up. I've decided to spend a little time on this melody, but not to learn it and type out every note in my music program.

You can hear more than one version on YouTube. Briege Murphy sings it in Cm, which is the relative minor for the key of Eb, unusually low for a woman, and in my opinion too low even for Briege herself. (She can barely get the first syllable of the song out.)

I'm an alto too, and I can sing a low Eb at home, with nobody else about and being perfectly relaxed. I couldn't hope to sing that low in a concert.

Back to YouTube. Listening to Niamh Parsons, who is also an alto, we move up to Am. I believe it will be easy to work out the chords using Am, G, C, perhaps Em and Dm. I don't think it will happen, but if you get to place where nothing else seems to work, try an E.
