It's only us-- it's only us, I say, as knows the long wild nights, and the wet and the rain and the mist of nights on the boglands-- it's only us I say could list to him in the right way; and ye knowed, right well ye knowed, that every string of his fiddle was keyed to the crying of your own heart.
