The Back Of The Winter - folksong
The Heron - folksong by Karine Polwart
Angela Hicks - soprano
Tom Gamble - guitar
Filmed at Castle Howard
***
The back of the winter is broken
And light lingers long by the door
The seeds of the summer have spoken
In gowans that bloom on the shore
By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
And we follow the heron home
In darkness we cradled our sorrow
And stoked all our fires with fear
These bones that lie empty and hollow
Are ready for gladness to cheer
Long may you sing of the salmon
And the snow-scented sound of your home
While the north wind delivers its sermon
Of ice and salt water and stone
By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
And we follow

❤your voice and interpretation❤
What a beautiful song sung with an exquisitely lovely voice. Thank you. I will try to learn this on my harp.✨
The celtic/rustic lilt and trills were perfectly calibrated. This recording is a gem of a find.
I'm pretty sure the world stops turning every time I play this. ❤
Absolutely beautiful, thanks! Merry Christmas!
