Download “The Sheep under the Snow” Mp3
“The Sheep under the Snow” is a Manx folk song called “Ny Kirree fo Niaghtey.” Please don’t ask me how to pronounce that! It’s a haunting melody I heard for the first time a few days ago. Do yourself a favor and avoid the lyrics, because they are so sad… Needless to say, I’m not posting them here.

Fiction is like a spider’s web.
“I called you! Why didn’t you answer?”
Several responses race through my mind,
all of them true, but some are unkind.
“I was out,
working,
or sleeping.”
