IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS
Kiss me, and turn my face to see
The shadows on the wall, And then sing "Rousseau's Dream " to me,
Till fast asleep I fall.
But this is not my little bed;
That time is far away; With strangers now I live instead,
From dreary day to day.
LOVELY MARY DONNELLY
O H, lovely Mary Donnelly, it's you I love the best! If fifty girls were round you I'd hardly see the rest. Be what it may the time of day, the place be where it
will, Sweet looks of Mary Donnelly, they bloom before me still.
Her eyes like mountain water that's flowing on a rock, How clear they are, how dark they are ! and they give
me many a shock. Red rowans warm in sunshine and wetted with a
shovv'r, Could ne'er express the charming lip that has me in its
pow'r.
Her nose is straight and handsome, her eyebrows
lifted up, Her chin is neat and pert, and smooth, just like a
china cup,
