Mountain Aire

 Mountain fiddle,

whammydiddle.

let cove ring and high bald tremble.

Front-porch Celtic cousins stare, mingle, whittle,

te-dum-rinktum-hi-me-yo.


 

Through gap and holler, foller

dulcimer tones,

bagpipe drones.

banjo rankle, plunk, canter.
 

Flowers sing,

the highland fling.

Moss-covered ridge rock turning

in the rhythm.
