Day 21 - Duil

Noo, Ah spent ages tryin tae come up wi a satisfactory haiku fir this, then suddenly Ah minded that I kenned the wird frae a song Ah sang jist the ither day at a local concert.
The song is cried 'The Four marys' an Joan Baez covert it wance. This is the version Ah ken, an Ah will record a version wance mah voice is back.
