IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS iot |

|
I found in Leinster the smooth and sleek, From Dublin to Slewmargy's peak, Flourishing pastures, valor, health, Song-loving worthies, commerce, wealth.
I found besides from Ara to Glea In the broad rich country of Ossorie, Sweet fruits, good laws for all and each, Great chess-players, men of truthful speech.
I found in Meath's fair principality, Virtue, vigor, and hospitality; Candor, joyfulness, bravery, purity — Ireland's bulwark and security.
I found strict morals in age and youth, I found historians recording truth ; The things I sing of in verse unsmooth I found them all I have written sooth. |

DARK ROSALEEN
From "The Irish"
OH ! my dark Rosaleen, Do not sigh, do not weep ! The priests are on the ocean green, They march along the deep. There's wine from the royal Pope
Upon the ocean green, And Spanish ale shall give you hope, My dark Rosaleen ! My own Rosaleen! |
