Who am I?

Think Brochfael may be either on his winter hols, or in the thick of exams - so I'll take the excecutive decision to pose the next question!
Who wrote the following? And about what?
"High-hearted songster, in no wise May craft of fowler by thy bane! Melodiously thine anthems rise As from the glen thou sing'st amain."

I'm baaaaack! Not a good singer then Someone hunting birds is an enemy: therefore the answer may be a bird Oh maybe a good singer but perhaps not a very friendly one. Found in Scotland perhaps
An ill-omened song-bird from Scotland? Pass!

Yes, it's a bird - but not specifically a Scottish one, nor is the poet Scottish

Ahhhh!
Long draught followed by a hearty refill.
Here's my latest offering: My hounds give healing by Sabrina's waters, Maker of clouds and showers am I lover of the lady of battles and healed by the mightiest healer of all.

eek! im pretty stumped on this, though a little digging tells me Sabrina is the river severn and that there was a healing temple on its banks dedicated to Nodens...
i will have a stab at Nodens then.
<fingers crossed>
