THE PIPER ON THE HILL
(A Child’s Song)
There sits a piper on the hill
Who pipes the livelong day,
And when he pipes both loud and shrill,
The frightened people say:
“The wind, the wind is blowing up
’Tis rising to a gale,”
The women hurry to the shore
To watch some distant sail.
The wind, the wind, the wind, the wind
Is blowing to a gale.
But when he pipes all sweet and low,
The piper on the hill,
I hear the merry women go
With laughter, loud and shrill:
“The wind, the wind is coming south
’Twill blow a gentle day.”
They gather on the meadow-land
To toss the yellow hay.
The wind, the wind, the wind, the wind
Is blowing south to-day.
And in the morn, when winter comes,
To keep the piper warm,
The little Angels shake their wings
To make a feather storm:
“The snow, the snow has come at last!”
The happy children call.
And “ring around” the dance in glee,
And watch the snowflakes fall.
The wind, the wind, the wind, the wind
Has spread a snowy pall.
But when at night the piper plays,
I have not any fear,
Because God’s windows open wide
The pretty tune to hear;
And when each crowding spirit looks,
From it’s star window-pane,
A watching mother may behold
Her little child again.
The wind, the wind, the wind, the wind
May blow her home again.
~Dora Sigerson Shorter (1866-1917)
from the book “1000 years of Irish Poetry”
