Hi amazing fountains of wisdom.
Anyone know the source of the below? "The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the place is Ireland. And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer fell, and all the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who stayed at home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was sad". I know where I located it, but am wondering if there is more? Thanks much, Kare <who is typing this email in her new apartment!> |

In the wiki article
there is a reference to a Harry Belafonte recording which included this recitative. "The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the place is Ireland. And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer fell, and all the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who stayed at home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was sad". |

All I could find was this about the song Danny Boy.

1957 Harry Belafonte sang the song from the album "An Evening with Harry Belafonte", where he began the song with a spoken recitative, before singing the 2 verses. He repeated the second half of the first verse the second time around. The Recitative goes: "The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the place is Ireland. And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer fell, and all the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who stayed at home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was sad".

I ask because, when researching the song, I came across the Harry belafonte recording referenced where he speaks these lines. Wikipedia did not indicate they were apart of the song, note the actual lyrics provided earlier in that article. On Thu, 16 Mar 2023, heelfree via groups.io wrote:

Indeed, that is where I am drawing the line from. However, Wikipedia does not share where mr. belafonte himself got those lines from.

Nor does Wikipedia say the lines are in the actual lyrics to the song. t On Thu, 16 Mar 2023, heelfree via groups.io wrote:

That is part of the presentation mr. Belafonte used in his recording. If you read in the same article, the actual lyrics, they do not include those lines. In fact, this is my source for them, and they are spoken, not sung. On Fri, 17 Mar 2023, mtiller via groups.io wrote:

Greetings from Toronto. Will answer my own question..sort of. Because Danny boy was written in 1910, the best guess I could gather, given this particular recording pre-dates the Irish troubles seems to be a conflict in the early 1900s. How was your St. Patrick's? My friend, who threw the party, says our event was a 90. Kare On Mon, 20 Mar 2023, Alex Cherry wrote:

I stayed in until I had to go to work at 9pm, the weather was good and so was traffic then but I was still late for work. I ran into a Sobriety Check roadblock about half way to work. Next day wasn't so good, but it was the 5th anniversary on my Mom's passing.
