I discovered lately that in fact this story comes from Irish mythology ( "Lough Neagh"/ "Tuân mac Cairill "). Cairill, a man, becomes a salmon (here we have a trout). He is eaten by a woman, survives and becomes a prophet knowing all the past of Ireland. The salmon is the symbol of knowledge and of man. Carill is " The Fisher King " in " The Graal ". "Golden Apples" might well be apples found in the " Garden of the Hesperides ".
Excellent ! Best wishes,

Thanks, loved this since I was a kid when my dad would play it. We lived out in Denver in the early 60s and my old man claims he met Judy at a party once. Been a fan ever since. This tune has the ability to suspend time while you listen to it.

@HM0880 You're welcome.

Collins's impeccable diction allows her to communicate the words of the song so clearly. Thanks for sending, meltzerboy, and thanks for posting, Binks!

@C6H12B26 And isn't "Innisfree" also a beautiful poem and a fabulous song as performed by Judy Collins!

We took the name for our beautiful Malamute from this poem.

Later Judy Collins sung another poem written by W.B. Yeats, " INNISFREE" adapted and set to music by Hamilton Camp ("Living"). In "Golden Apples of the sun" Judy had to change a word as the poem was written for a man ; so she says "... and SEE her lips " instead of " and KISS her lips". Beautiful song found in " The (first) Judy Collins songbook ". Great thanks !
