Maybe I should re-read it: Mulla-Mulgars' Journey Song That one, alone, Who's dared and gone To seek the Magic Wonderstone, No fear, or care, Or black despair Shall heed until his journey's done. Who knows, where grows The Mulgars' rose, In valleys 'neath unmelting snows — All secrets, he Shall pierce and see, And walk unharmed where'er he goes. Wonder if it has a tune? Notes: From THE THREE MULLA-MULGARS, by Walter De La Mare, Duckworth & Co, London, ©1910. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Perhaps it is best done as a recitation at a campfire, when the flickering shadows are at their most impressive and you are in half shadow! Walter wrote some excellent verse in his time. Best wishes, Peter |
