about

Written for the 11th Australian Assembly of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids

Folklorists might like to know this extra verse that is not sung within this recording, but appears in the script of Reilly's original play 'The Voyage of Bran' about the mythical Isle of Apples:

The birds sing you a welcome and there’s laughter in the air Daughters of the Goddess all as sweet as they are fair
No decay or illness, nor grief within its sights
An isle of only pleasure in summertime delights

lyrics

There is an isle of apples across the distant sea
Encircled by white horses, forever riding free
Pale and fragrant blossoms nod gently in the breeze
Where music is enchanting so you may rest with ease

Golden horses, silver chariots - racing for the sport
Chances, and games to play, and treasures to be sought
Crystal drops and dragon stones are hidden in the maze
The green isle of apples awaits your longing gaze
