Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Amhrán Dóchais 7rl From: Peace Date: 17 Apr 06 - 04:27 PM Re the poem: All I can find is this reference-- ----Original Message----- From: project-wombat-bounces at lists.project-wombat.org [mailto:project-wombat-bounces at lists.project-wombat.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Eric Anderson Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 2:37 PM To: list at project-wombat.org Subject: [PW] Re-post: Poem request: Tulane's Hill (Several years ago I posted this question, got some intriguing leads, but nothing that satisfied the patron, who is still searching. I figured perhaps now it was time to try again; perhaps new listmembers might recognize it, or veteran listmembers might have come across new leads in the interim.) An adult patron is trying to find a poem she remembers from sometime in grade school (mid-1960's - early 1970's), possibly in a much older book. She remembers the fragments below as being the beginning of the poem. She says it's possible that the verbs should be in past tense ("stood," "came", etc.), and there may or may not be lines between "cold and grey" and "A monk comes toiling" etc. She's pretty certain that the poem was a long one. > I stand on the brow of Tulane's hill > on the eve of All Hallow's Day > ....................................still > .....[mist? fog?]........cold and grey > ........................................ > A monk comes toiling over [o'er?] the hill > from an age that is seen no more > ........................................ > .................................shore Any help -- pointers, suggestions, longshot guesses -- would be appreciated. A positive ID of the poem and its author, and the full text, would be greeted with shouting and acclaim. The above is from a Google of the following: STUMPERS-L archives -- February 2002 (#940) |
Subject: Lyr Req: Amhrán Dóchais 7rl From: GUEST Date: 17 Apr 06 - 03:18 PM Two things, if people would be so kind. One is this: I'd like to find a recording of the Taoiseach's official salute, Amhrán Dóchais - not sung, but an orchestral or wind version. The other is a poem called something like The Hill of Tulane or On Tulane's Hill - anyone know this? Gratitude waiting hopefully in store for helpful Cats. |
