Description

"Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me."


I love this song- it sounds like something Benji would sing to him. It's so perfect, because Benjamin dies and hypothetically lives on through his little brother.

Danny's grown up a little, hasn't he? I changed some of the ages of the characters, made a lot of them a year older- I.E., Sara and Benjamin are 16, Hanna's 11 and Danny's 13.

What do you think?

Very nice, I like it. The song is nice too, one of my favourites, I made an ink drawing many years ago, but I think this one is better.
