Many of the great classical composers have drawn on folk tunes for inspiration for their symphonies and other great works. Similarly, the lyrics of folk songs provide a history of love, hate, politics and social change from the earliest days to the present. Hear is just one example:- "The New-Mown Hay - - As I walked forth one summer's morn, - Hard by a river's side, - Where yellow cowslips did adorn - The blushing field with pride; - I spied a damsel on the grass, - More blooming than the may; - Her looks the Queen of Love surpassed, - Among the new-mown hay. - 2. I said, Good morning, pretty maid, - How came you here so soon? - To keep my father's sheep, she said, - The thing that must be done: - While they are feeding 'mong the dew, - To pass the time away, - I sit me down to knit or sew, - Among the new-mown hay.
