@PapaNoMidokoro I agree with you, Papa. I know what the words to the song say, but I listen to it sometimes when I think of the friends I lost in Vietnam.
The photographs make clear what I should have seen before: the heart of the song isn't about just Bonnie Prince Charlie, but about all those who never came back again to the place where they were best loved, except in spirit.
So many gone.
Crush ye the flower of youth in pestulant wake leave empty hearts to pine.
The beastly tide drowns sweet blossoms their fragrance for us to bare in faded echoes.
The weight of worlds press down upon the meek ;but come again ye visions.
Paint anew the scene before; that love may rest and conquer war. Peter Mullen
