Donovan - The Song Of Wandering Aengus video free download

TheRestfulwind

I went out to the hazel wood,Because a fire was in my head,And cut and peeled a hazel wand,And hooked a berry to a thread;And when white moths were on the wing,And moth-like stars were flickering out,I dropped the berry in a streamAnd caught a little silver trout.When I had laid it on the floorI went to blow the fire a-flame,But something rustled on the floor,And some one called me by my name:It had become a glimmering girlWith apple blossom in her hairWho called me by my name and ranAnd faded through the brightening air.Though I am old with wanderingThrough hollow lands and hilly lands,I will find out where she has gone,And kiss her lips and take her hands;And walk among long dappled grass,And pluck till time and times are doneThe silver apples of the moon,The golden apples of the sun. ~W.B. Yeats~

donovans name is donovan phillips leitch (not phillip leitch donovan) phillips being his mothers maiden name - and this song is one of the better ones on the H.M.S. album.

A truly fine union of poetry, music and imagery."But is there any comfort to be found?Man is in love and loves what vanishes,What more is there to say? .................."W.B. Yeats 'Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen' 

Bruchag

Yeats was a mystical Irish poet who wrote obscure and eliptical verse...not to be read literally. Donovan is a Glasgow boy frae Maryhill who is brilliant and whacko in turns (o)

#dream40 Out of this wood do not desire to go.Thou shalt remain here whether thou wilt or no.I am a spirit of no common rate.The summer still doth tend upon my state.And I do love thee. Therefore go with me.I’ll give thee fairies to attend on thee.And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,And sing while thou on pressèd flowers dost sleep.And I will purge thy mortal grossness soThat thou shalt like an airy spirit go.—Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustardseed!(Titania, Act 3, Scene 1)

I wish out to the hazel wood Because a fire was in my head And I cut and peeled a hazel wand And hooked a berry with a thread And when white moths were on the wing And moth-like stars were flickering out I dropped a berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout.

@yoginipeacelove Please don't be offended, this isn't personal but under every Donovan video I've watched today I found a comment like this and by now I am a little irritated. Those who read books and listen to music like this might not be the majority of our generation but it doesn't really make you that special either. And, most importantly, WE DO HAVE REAL MUSIC. It might be a littel harder to find but it is there.

@audiotrax2000 From "HMS Donovan" double album 1971. Was available on CD. There is a fantastically whimsical musical adaptation of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" (and other great cuts) on that album as well.

This is SO beautiful, and it matches the renderings perfectly. When was this timeless gem recorded?
