Loaded by machree01 and with thanks. A poem by Patrick Kavanagh and read by Liam Clancy. So you think you can write poetry or read it. There have been many fine Irish poets and performers but only a few great ones. The above. The poem is followed by Ewan MacColl's great ballad 'The Travelling People' though I've seen Peggy Seeger credited here also. Just about everyone has recorded this song but most people around these parts will remember 'The Johnstons' version, which was very popular in the sixties and good it was too. They were from Slane in County Meath. Happy Sunday morning!
