Thank you so much! It sounds like it might have sang kind of this in origin... Really haunting and warming at the same time. I'm writing from Italy and for me it's pretty hard to imagine the meaning of the line Lay The Bent To The Bonny Broom. On the internet I couldn't find anything reliable on this matter. Would you be so kind to tell me something about that?
The bent (weedy grass) lay (close) to the bonnie (nice) broom. it means that the bad grass grows near beatiful plants. It is a metaphor for the two sister, one bad and the other nice
Hi, thanks for your interest! It's Grimshaw John Atkinson's the Lady of Shallot, also known as the second Elaine (he did a series of similar paintings) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Grimshaw_John_Atkinson_Elaine2_AMK.jpg
Just... Lovely!
Love this version of the famous ballad, it's just so pure!
Cannot agree more! I learned this song through the Pentangle first.. but this version is so deeply haunting!
Fa la la la la la la la la
I am so glad you discovered these Isla Cameron recordings! I can feel your excitement as I was equally fa la la-ing when I first heard this!
