Category:Songs and lyrics
A collection of lyrics and titles of songs mentioned in Finnegans Wake.
Birdsong
Interestingly, there are several instances where references to birds and to song are intermingled, e.g. Page 449 where "... at this passing moment by localoption in the birds' lodging, me pheasants among, where I'll dreamt that I'll dwealth mid warblers' walls when throstles and choughs to my sigh hiehied,..." is a mutilation of the title of a song from the opera The Bohemian Girl by Michael Balfe and Alfred Bunn, "I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls". Also on Page 264 in which the lines "... I wound around my swanchen's neckplace a school of shells of moyles marine to swing their saysangs in her silents..." evoke the song Silent, O Moyle by Thomas Moore.
