Was cleaning up some old posts and came across this one. Ceb, thanks for your comment " I think I'm in love ". Heh, not sure if you meant me or Thomas Moore, but I know which I prefer, lol. Anyway, I hope you don't mind me spamming your site a little by posting Thomas' entire poem to his wife here. It just goes so much in line with Stan's song and some may not be familiar with it. I also think "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms" is the greatest poem/song ever for a wedding.

Thank you Rikkio; one of my favorite poems...also one of the greatest poems for a couple in their old age. I appreciate the post. xxClaudia

So beautiful, takes me into time to feel that bitter yet happiness and a past behind to cherish..

@Razhumykin I quite agree, Raz. Though in retrospect I tend to think that the Belle Heaulmiere was more likely what inspired him to write the song. Without prior knowledge of it's existance and it's meaning he would, of course, never thought to search for the referance.

Love the details in this song, drips carnation from the can and the true love of live long mate

stan is awesome benn to the stan rogers fest in canso n. s . where his mother was from poetic and blue collar at the same time

[Razhumykin]

It takes a certain kind of genius to work a reference to Rodin's Belle Heaulmiere into a folk song about the travails of a western Canadian farmer's wife.

@paulkearnsmusic I heard that he did get out, but he went back in to help others get out. He died a hero. RIP Stan.

Such a wonderful voice and songs. I had only just "discovered" Stan before he boarded that aircraft.

So sad, why was he not one of those who got out?

Such a tragic waste of talent.

Now that I'm a crone, when I look in the mirror I see my mother, Thanks for the memories.
