Song For Ballyheigue

Song for Ballyheigue

	County Kerry, Ireland

Twig fire limn
eight fairy
in a lour cave mouth

Four of whom
a tabor thrum

Four of whom
breathe zephyr
through wee fife

All of whom
leap star,
the joy of life.

All of whom
sing lark, 
the yet to come

As much as I can understand, I like. The piece is musical, whimsical and a bit like the final act of Verdi's Falstaff, maybe a bit of Zarathustra? Congrats on the selection. Love, daver
