The Ballad of the Tinker's Wife
...At Caher fair she saw him
as she was hurrying by,
and the song that he was singing
would lure lark from the sky.
Her footsteps slowed to standing,
she stood and stared that day;
he made a noose of music
and pulled her heart away....
--Sigerson Clifford (1913-1985), in Ballads of a Bogman
