[edit] Song
Is there a version of this song available online? The Jade Knight 23:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] not a song: a poem
I'd suggest to move this article to The Wind That Shakes the Barley (poem): Apart from two lines about different cover versions at its very end, this article is entirely about the original poem. --Ibn Battuta (talk) 15:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] When
When was the poem written? Maikel (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Barley marking mass graves
It's very poetic but I would like to see some reference for this story about barley being carried by the rebels as provisions in their pockets, and later marking the mass graves they had been dumped into.
For one, you can't grow a plant out of oats, only the integral grain. Then I doubt that barley could grow out of even a shallow grave. Maikel (talk) 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
