02 An Fuiseog

This song is about a lark - a small melodious bird which is native to Ireland.The lark, or the symbol of the lark, is linked to freedom, freedom of a person and freedom of thought and expression. In English one might hear the expression 'to lark about' or 'larking around' which generally leans to have fun or have the craic in a joyful, innocent manner.

The lark in mythology and literature stands for daybreak, as in Chaucer's "The Kight's Tale":

'the bisy larke, messager of day'

and Shakespeare's sonnet 29:

'the lark at break of day arising,
from sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate'

The lark is also associated with 'lovers and lovers observance' and with 'church services' (Sylvester & Roberts, 2000), and often those meanings of daybreak and religious reference are combined (in Blake's Visions of the Daughters of Albion, into a 'spiritual daybreak' (Blaine & Blaine, 1986) to signify 'passage from Earth to Heaven and from Heaven to Earth' (Stevens, 2001). In Renaissance painters such as Domenico Ghirlandaio the lard symbolises Christ, in reference to John 16:16 (Cadogan, 2000). There is also a famous Irish tune called 'The Lark in the Morning'.

"My grandfather once said that the imprisonment of the lark is a crime of the greatest cruelty because the lark is one of the greatest symbols of freedom and happiness. He often spoke of the spirit of the lark relating to a story of a man who incarcerated one of hise loved friends in a small cage"
