About Thinking Song

This is a peculiar little piece for voice and penny whistle, soprano recorder, or flute if neither of the other instruments is available. It is easily performed a capella and probably originally existed that way, passed from one mage to another. I do not know precisely where it comes from. A torn and dirty manuscript copy appeared one day among the collection.

Please be careful! I have performed this piece twice, and peculiar things always happen during and afterwards. An owl landed at my feet in broad daylight and sang with me the first time; the second time a strong wind sprang up and flattened shelters and several trees. I believe this song to be much more than the innocuous little melody it appears. Sing it with great caution.

Mirrashar, Elven Bard

Lyrics

If thought is the mother of all good action,
Then what is the child of plain distraction?

Think! Pay attention! Let your mind change!
Make every day things complicated and strange!

There are fish to be fried, but first to be caught
So spread wide the nets and get tangled in thought!

So spread wide the nets and get tangled in thought!
