I Heard a Piper Piping
source:
Joseph Campbell
I heard a piper piping
The blue hills among —
And never did I hear
So plaintive a song.
It seemed but a part
Of the hills’ melancholy:
No piper living there
Could ever be jolly!
And still the piper piped
The blue hills among,
And all the birds were quiet
To listen to his song.
The blue hills among —
And never did I hear
So plaintive a song.
It seemed but a part
Of the hills’ melancholy:
No piper living there
Could ever be jolly!
And still the piper piped
The blue hills among,
And all the birds were quiet
To listen to his song.
