Introduction

My idea for this was kicked off by this poem:

Which led me to be inspired by the poem by Richard Lovelace adapted by Dave Swarbrick for the song "To Althea From Prison" on Fairport Nine.

Essentially the lines:

Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage;

My Soul Cannot Be Caged

🦋⛓️🔗🕊️🔗⛓️🦋
They Tried Their Best To Lock Me Away
And To Silence Every Thought Of Mine
My Soul And Voice Will Never Be Caged
🔗🕊️🔗
They Bound Me Tight With Their Locks And Chains
In Their Prison Of The Darkest Times
They Tried Their Best To Lock Me Away
🔗🕊️🔗
Walls And Bars Do Not Make Me Afraid
I'll Not Be Cowed By Their Spiteful Kind
My Soul And Voice Will Never Be Caged
🔗🕊️🔗
I'll Have My Freedom, These Words I Say
I Will Be Here To Speak For All Time
They Tried Their Best To Lock Me Away
🔗🕊️🔗
My Soul Will Soar, I Am Here To Stay
I Will Not Be Stopped And I Will Shine
My Soul And Voice Will Never Be Caged
🔗🕊️🔗
You Will Hear My Stories Every Day
With You I Will Share My Tales Divine
They Tried Their Best To Lock Me Away
My Soul And Voice Will Never Be Caged
