The pipes are calling
This is from lyrics of the Danny Boy song:
"Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so."
My questions are: what is the meaning of "the pipes are calling from glen to glen, and down the mountain side"?; is "hushed" an adjective or the past participle?
