deep into movement I (a lament) of my symphonic prose poem for the Celts.
My first thought was to base my text of mov I upon Táim sínte ar do thuama (from the cold sod that o'er you)
aka I am stretched on your grave, but

i am totally ambivalent bc sinnead (o# Connor), as fine as her a capella is voted for King's tralation of that song. But Yeats prefers Walsh's and if Yeats has decided to include in his anthology of Irish poetry, then I will of course go with it.

Compare this:

"I've the cold earth's damp odour," walsh

with this

"for I smell of the earth" king


or also compare this:

My fondest, my fairest, walsh

with

my appletree, my brightness king

Perplexed here. ;-)

So

I instead decided to go for dead can dance's "hymn for the fallen"
because of (quoting from the lyricsSmile

"My attends to you as a mother fears while her children sleep
Now look, see how they're dreaming
...
Now sleep, close your eyes and have no fear
A wide blue sky is very near.

and also
the music is closer to a composition titled sailing to Byzantium (Yeats. Now you must know ( ,-) that Lisa gerrard is the singer of band known as Dead can dance!

cheers
