I interpreted your edit as a request, here is: A Cradle Song (Colum). I had to create the author page too, that is linked from the page. Regards, Cygnis insignis (talk)

Thank you. In fact, it was not a request. I was going to do it myself, but was working out what to put in the header. I have made some changes, to make it consistent with the 1907 version. I hope you don't mind. I know there are differences in published versions (gently/softly, through/thro' etc.) But I don't know if the variations represent changes made later by Colum, or just errors creeping in to different editions. Also, I'm not sure of the dates of later versions, and whether they would be in the public domain. Regards. Anirishwoman (talk) 22:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that. I think your edit improved my lazy swipe from a website. If you are interested in adding more of his works I can bring a scan of a book to this site, the result would be similar to this version of Blake's 'How sweet I roam'd from field to field'. These scans contain machine-read text, and remain linked from the transcript. This is just an option, more pages like the one you improved would be great. Works published before 1923 would be fine, later works would need to checked for copyright. Regards, Cygnis insignis (talk) 00:30, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
