Dear Friends,

I know that poetry is a bit off topic, but I had heard Liam Clancy recite
Raftery's poem "Mary Hynes" on Joanie Madden's CD, "A Whistle on the Wind". Joanie accompanied Liam by playing Marcus Hernon's Air. Both the playing and the recitation were lovely. I have copied down the words, but there are a few
of the words that I am not certain about. Hence, my request for help. Thanks
a lot.

The poem was written in Irish by Anthony Rafferty. Liam read from a translation by Padraig Fallon. the original is on line. Look for Máire Ní hEidhin.
