I just got my copy of 'Mitre', Bishop's University's creative magazine and was thrilled to see the lyrics for my song 'Beautiful Dream' right near the top of the list of poetry entries. This song is my quintessential Canadian love pastoral.
Here are the opening lines...
I'm dreaming of a river, and an old birch-bark canoe
Paddles split the surface, and water-drops like jewels
Trees that line the shore all standing straight and tall
Somewhere in the distance a whip-poor-will's call...
I ask you, how often do you get to sing 'whip-poor-will' in a song?
