It is traditional and the melody I use is the one that I heard for the first time in elementary school
It's very pretty, both the lyrics and the melody (though I'm mainly focused on the voice).
All around the blooming heather
I can relate because there was heather in Morrowind, a video game I played constantly for years . . . okay, not the same thing, though it makes you wonder what songs like this will mean when people are experiencing Earth environments exclusively through computer simulations.
As I originally learned the song, the first verse runs
It never hurts to include moorlands.
One way or another, it is the first song I ever performed formally; it's important to me.
You do a good job with it.
I have written occasional songs, but I have no formal training in composition; I can always hear the accompaniment inside my head, but all I can perform is the vocal line.
Have you sought people to play instruments? Is this perhaps the inspiration for that story of yours about the woman and the band and the guy dreaming about the underwater city . . . Can't remember the title and my copy of Singing Innocence and Experience is somewhere in the stacks of books outside my door . . .

"A Ceiling of Amber, A Pavement of Pearl." No, the story that's mostly closely related is probably "Chez Vous Soon," since all of the songs I have ever written are attributed to Nobody's Home. At least inside my head, "A Ceiling of Amber . . ." has always linked up more with my senior year of college.
