Donovan - The Song Of Wandering Aengus
Loading...
Uploaded by Sissham on Mar 2, 2008
In this video I have illustrated this beautiful folk song sung by Donovan. The wonderful lyrics is written by W.B. Yeats.
The song is to be found on HMS Donovan from 1971.
And yes, the girl is Marianne Faithfull. It was hard to find a picture of a girl that fitted the song..

Well it's all a man can do, isn't it- to remain true to the vision, the possibility. And to keep feeling, not be dulled by the pain of separation.

Hadn't heard this version before - absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for setting it up.
