"Where All Roses Go" by Michael McGlynn - 18th Street Singers

"Where All Roses Go" by Michael McGlynn (b. 1964) Text by Francis Ledwidge (1887-1917) Conducted by Yannick Morgan Solos by Adam Grogg and Ryan McCarty This piece is based on Irish poet Francis Ledwidge’s “Lament for Thomas MacDonagh.” Most of his poetry was published in 1917, after Ledwidge at been killed at Ypres, Belgium. Lyrics: He shall not hear the bittern cry In the wild sky, where he is lain, Nor voices of the sweeter birds, Above the wailing of the rain. Nor shall he know when loud March blows Thro’ slanting snows her fanfare shrill, Blowing to flame the golden cup Of many an upset daffodil. Soon the swallows will be flying south, The winds wheel north to gather in the snow. Even the roses split on youth's red mouth Will soon blow down the road all roses go. But when the Dark Cow leaves the moor, And pastures poor with greedy weeds, Perhaps he’ll hear her low at morn, Lifting her horn in pleasant meads. Soon the swallows will be flying south, The winds wheel north to gather in the snow. Even the roses split on youth's red mouth Will soon blow down the road all roses go. ------------------------ 18th Street Singers Winter Concert, "Winter's Night" January 27 & 28, 2024 www.18thstreetsingers.com
