Four songs

Song Cycle by Arthur Edward Drummond Bliss, Sir (1891-1975)


?. The mad woman of Punnet's Town

Language: English

Authorship


A swell within her billowed skirts
Like a great ship with sails unfurled
The madwoman goes gallantly
Upon the ridges of the world.

With eagle nose and wisps of grey
She strides upon the westward hills,
Swings her umbrella joyously
And waves it to the waving mills.

Talking and laughing as she goes
Indifferent to sun and rain,
With all that merry company
The singing children of her brain.
