THE KERRY DANCE
Othe days of the Kerry dancing, 0 the ring of the piper's tune! O for one of those hours of gladness, gone, alas ! like our youth too soon ; When the boys began to gather in the glen of a sumĀmer night, And the Kerry piper's tuning made us long with wild
delight, O to think of it, O to dream of it, fills my heart with tears.
O the days of the Kerry dancing, O the ring of the
piper's tune! O for one of those hours of gladness, gone, alas ! like
our youth too soon.
Was there ever a sweeter colleen in the dance than
Eily Moore ? Or a prouder lad than Thady, as he boldly took the
floor? "Lads and lasses to your places; up the middle and
down again." Ah ! the merry hearted laughter ringing through the
happy glen ! O to think of it, O to dream of it, fills my heart with
tears !
O the days, etc. |
