by Joseph Campbell (1881 - 1944), as Seosamh MacCathmhaoil
My fidil is singing
Language: English
My fidil is singing Into the air; The wind is stirring, The moon is fair. A shadow wanders Along the road; It stops to listen, And drops its load. Dreams for a space Upon the moon, Then passes, humming My mountain tune.
Confirmed with Seosamh MacCathmhaoil, The Mountainy Singer, Dublin, Maunsel and Company, 1909, page 4.
