‘Irish Skies’ by Winifred M. Letts

Here’s a video I made yesterday eveningof Aileen putting voice and music to the words of Winifred M Letts poem, ‘Irish Skies’. The poem is about an Irish emigrant in London dreaming of their home back in Co. Wicklow. Some writing by Winifred and some interpretation by Aileen. This poem was written around 1914 and features in Letts book, Songs from Leinster. Listen - is all I can say. ❤️ 🎶
