One of 4 songs written during my Artist-In Residence stay in the Porcupine Mountains in Northern Michigan. Written in the style of 19th Century Minstrel Music, with a U.P. landscape. In the tradtion of song writing of that period, I borrowed from European melodies. This one is based on the the Irish Air "The Winnowing Sheet".
The heart of a poet at work.
