Notes About The Poem

Note from Jon Corelis:  after writing this poem I decided to use it as lyrics for a song of my own composition.  It hasn't gotten performed yet, but the software generated demo audio file (using "ah" sounds for the vocal, since I don't have a decent voice simulator,) on YouTube will give some idea of what a performance would sound like.]

 

It is as absurd and futile to try to explain the meaning of a poem by constructing a prose paraphrase of it as it would be to use the same method to try to explain the meaning of a painting, dance, or musical performance.

 

In a meadow by the hill

In a meadow by the hill I saw my love lying there;
in a meadow by the hill, he was there;
in a meadow by the hill I saw my love lying there,
Curah crahnah rifi fahlah clee ah tah!

O my love, never leave me but remain, but remain;
O my love, never leave me, but remain:
for if you ever leave me I will never love again,
Curah crahnah rifi fahlah clee ah tah!

No, I will never leave you but remain, but remain;
while the meadow blooms in flowers, I'll remain:
while the deer is in the forest and the sun burns in the sky,
Curah crahnah rifi fahlah clee ah tah!

In the meadow by the hill he remains, he remains;
while the meadow blooms in flowers, he remains:
while the deer is in the forest and the sun burns in the sky,
Curah crahnah rifi fahlah clee ah tah!

Oh I am very pretty with my hair all in a braid,
with my hair all in a braid, hanging down:
oh I am very pretty with my hair all in a braid,
Curah crahnah rifi fahlah clee ah tah!
