Oddrun Eikli. by oddrun eikli published on 2022-02-18T14:00:44Z Uilleann Pipes.(sekkepipe), Whistle and Accordion : Phil Dale https://soundcloud.com/philleann Piano , Cover design by Debra: Debra Buesking https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking Vocal: Oddrun Eikli I warmly thank Phil and Debra for this collaboration. Like most people, I have heard this song many times, read the poem. But now I understand the depth of this poem, so sore and fragile. Thank you from heart Debra and Phil, two wonderful musicians. A JOY. If you need one poem for regrets in your life, then it must be this poem. Down by the Salley Gardens was written by W B Yeats (1889), who is generally known as one of Ireland’s greatest poets. Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree. In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand. She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears. Yeats published the poem in his collection, The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems in 1889. In a note on the poem, he said that he was trying to reconstruct an old song he had heard being sung by a woman in the village of Ballisodare in Sligo. Down by the Salley Gardens was written as a poem and remained that way until 1909 when Herbert Hughes set it to music using the old Irish melody, The Maids of Mourne Shore.
