Bagpiper by Jean-Baptiste Monge. Link to his site.
The Piper
What is that enticing noise
Wafting through the glen?
What deep and heavy sorrows
To stir the hearts of Men?
A revered piper on a hill
Embraced in solitude
Focused on the moment
Plays notes of gratitude
O, natural Irish spirit
With stout and sturdy trunk
You share a place in every heart
With fairies, elves and monk
Leprechaun, I’m lucky
To hear your songs today
I value them most highly
Enriched by Danu’s way
