Tony Norwell Miscellaneous Farewell Farewell(For Ewan McColl d 21.10.89) Farewell travellers’ champion - may your wheels never rest! Until they have rounded the lanes you loved best! Farewell workers’ fighter - may the fight never end - Until all of our people call all others their friend! That voice, oh that voice - words alone can’t describe; I’ve heard it so often - so vibrant and so live; With your hand by your ear and your chair turned around - I can just see you now - I can still hear your sound! Farewell ballad builder - great singer of songs - Farewell poem penner and hiker so long! May your songs tremble hearts and quarter the skies - Like a captive bird freed - high o’er the hill flies! Oh Manchester Rambler - may you ramble anon - Oh hunter of herring - may you hunt on and on; Farewell to the voice that no one could mistake - May it long sound o’er Suilvan and o’er Glyder Fach. Farewell to the stories you knew well how to tell - May they stay part of Cuilbeig, Bleaklow and Scafell. May the Sweet Thames flow softly to the tune we know well - Oh master of singers, so long and farewell!... |
