Harp Song of the Dane Women by Rudyard Kipling
What is a woman that you forsake her,
And the hearth-fire and the home-acre.
To go with the old grey Widow-maker?
She has no house to lay a guest in
But one chill bed for all to rest in,
That the pale suns and the stray bergs nest in.
She has no strong white arms to fold you,
But the ten-times-fingering weed to hold you
Out on the rocks where the tide has rolled you.
Yet, when the signs of summer thicken,
And the ice breaks, and the birch-buds quicken,
Yearly you turn from our side, and sicken—
Sicken again for the shouts and the slaughters.
You steal away to the lapping waters,
And look at your ship in her winter-quarters.
You forget our mirth, and talk at the tables,
The kine in the shed and the horse in the stables
To pitch her sides and go over her cables.
Then you drive out where the storm-clouds swallow,
And the sound of your oar-blades, falling hollow,
Is all we have left through the months to follow.
Ah, what is Woman that you forsake her,
And the hearth-fire and the home-acre,
To go with the old grey Widow-maker?
What is a woman that you forsake her,
And the hearth-fire and the home-acre.
To go with the old grey Widow-maker?
She has no house to lay a guest in
But one chill bed for all to rest in,
That the pale suns and the stray bergs nest in.
She has no strong white arms to fold you,
But the ten-times-fingering weed to hold you
Out on the rocks where the tide has rolled you.
Yet, when the signs of summer thicken,
And the ice breaks, and the birch-buds quicken,
Yearly you turn from our side, and sicken—
Sicken again for the shouts and the slaughters.
You steal away to the lapping waters,
And look at your ship in her winter-quarters.
You forget our mirth, and talk at the tables,
The kine in the shed and the horse in the stables
To pitch her sides and go over her cables.
Then you drive out where the storm-clouds swallow,
And the sound of your oar-blades, falling hollow,
Is all we have left through the months to follow.
Ah, what is Woman that you forsake her,
And the hearth-fire and the home-acre,
To go with the old grey Widow-maker?

Further to what I was saying last night as to the need for people to take an interest in traditional folk music, I thought I'd give a few suggestions for where to get started:
Nic Jones:- He has a very gentle and pleasant style that is probably in line with what people expect from folk music.
His earliest albums in particular are a treasure, and i predict the ladies might prefer to start here.
Harry Cox:- A Norfolk born farm labourer recorded towards the end of his life, a shining example of traditional folk singing and gives the impression of listening to a grandparent or village elder in a pub.
Jon Raven:- Welsh Born, Staffordshire raised, Jon started out as a teacher before making Folklore and Folk Song his life's passion, he's an excellent example of a revival era artist trying to stay true to the tradition.
Peter Bellamy:- Again a Norfolk man, Bellamy started out in the 60s with the 'Young Tradition' before his solo work, later he took an interest in the poems of Kipling and became convinced they had been written with folk song in mind. Peter worked extensively to put these to music and one such, Oak, Ash & Thorn has become legendary in recent years.
Ewan Mcoll:- Ewan was a major driving force behind the revival with his rendition of many old (and some new) folk songs on the radio, many people who entered the scene in the 70s and 80s learned from listening to him, with 'Dirty old town' seemingly being a favourite.
Jake Thackery:- Thackey, from Leeds, took a slightly different approach with writing many new bawdy and humourous songs sung in a simple folkish style. I think his insights on the nature of women and relationships will still ring true to many men today.
This is a real scattershot of names, there are far more of all styles than I can list here. So if you're unfamiliar with any of them, why not click the name and have a listen? If you know of these, but have another favourite, please put a link to them in the comments below and share what is it about their work you connect with!
