From Danny Boy lyrics analysis.
The pipes, the pipes are calling
The scene and the mood are set with supreme ease in the first four lines.
The phrase “the pipes, the pipes are calling” is thought to refer to the sound of the bagpipes which were sounded as a call to arms to the young men of Ireland.
