LADY MORGAN
(1783-1859)
KATE KEARNEY
ODID you not hear of Kate Kearney ? She lives on the banks of Killarney, From the glance of her eye shun danger and fly, For fatal's the glance of Kate Kearney ! For that eye is so modestly beaming, You'd ne'er think of mischief she's dreaming, Yet oh, I can tell how fatal's the spell That lurks in the eye of Kate Kearney !
O, should you e'er meet this Kate Kearney, Who lives on the banks of Killarney, Beware of her smile, for many a wile Lies hid in the smile of Kate Kearney. Though she looks so bewitchingly simple, There's mischief in every dimple; Who dares inhale her mouth's spicy gale Must die by the breath of Kate Kearney. |
