The songs sung by many folk groups tell a story

   zzShepherd Of The Downs - . - A shepherd of the downs being weary of his port - Retired to the hills where he used to resort - In want of refreshment he laid himself down - |: He wanted no riches, nor wealth from the crown. :| - 2. He drank of the cold brook he ate of the tree - Himself he did enjoy from all sorrow was free - He valued no girl be she ever so free - |: No pride nor ambition he valued no care. :| - - 3. As he was a-walking one evening so clear - A heavenly voice sounded sweet in his ear - He stood like a post not one step could he mov - |: He knew not what ailed him but thought it was love. :| - - 4. He beheld a young damsel a fair modest bride - She had something amiss and disguised in her face - Disguised in her face she unto him did say - |: How now, master shepherd, how came you this way? :|

 
 

Folk Groups - Quotations.      

Quotations about folk groups and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

A certain Music, never known before, Here soothed the pensive melancholy Mind; The God of Winds drew Sounds of deep Delight: Whence, with just Cause, The Harp of Aeolus it Light. Ah me! what hand can touch the strings so fine? Who up the lofty Diapason roll, Such sweet, such sad, such solemn Airs divine, Then let them down again into the Soul? ~ James Thomson
