Song Of The Violet

William Makepeace Thackeray
1811-1863

A humble flower long time I pined
Upon the solitary plain,
And trembled at the angry wind,
And shrunk before the bitter rain.
And oh! 'twas in a blessed hour
A passing wanderer chanced to see,
And, pitying the lonely flower,
To stoop and gather me.

I fear no more the tempest rude,
On dreary heath no more I pine,
But left my cheerless solitude,
To deck the breast of Caroline.
Alas our days are brief at best,
Nor long I fear will mine endure,
Though shelter'd here upon a breast
So gentle and so pure.

It draws the fragrance from my leaves,
It robs me of my sweetest breath,
And every time it falls and heaves,
It warns me of my coming death.
But one I know would glad forego
All joys of life to be as I;
An hour to rest on that sweet breast,
And then, contented, die!

Just wishing a “WELCOME” to a new member…BambiGurl…who I met last night.
Hope you're all going to extend a warm Achat welcome if you bump into her.

Have fun Bambi…see you around and about, no doubt.

What if……it were for an Achat 55 Word Competition?
Would it be disqualified?

I was labouring under the impression that the next song title had to contain at least one word from the previous song title?
But Hey-Ho and a Nonny-Nonny-No……no biggie. If I's in error I'll apoplogolise.
Let's punt this one out there……

Rip yer knickers off and bounce around to this.
Stomp yer feet and shake yer head and have a fucking good clearout of the crap that's been bulding inside.

English Translation:

Two scrub fowl crying out, looking for Guwalilna
the calls like woman crying, looking for Murrurnawu
the cries returning his mind to the jungles at Mutlwutjna

oh place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m

Oh the old man cries, from the drink
oh dad Kamba-Djunadjuna, home Mayan-naraka bright in his mind
oh my two mums, beloved mums, hold Ruypu Milinditj
oh my two mums, beloved mums, cry for the sacred spring Burarrapu
oh the place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m

The orange footed scrub fowl (Djilawurr) are family and relatives to the Gumatj Nation.

What if Cher were really Doctor Who?
Maybe then she'd never have recorded this song…

Anyone have a spare Tardis…?

Still a favourite song after all this time.
Helped me at a time in my life that was difficult.
Just listened again and felt the same lift.
