IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 23
If some great lord should come this way, and see your
beauty bright, And you to be his lady, I'd own it was but right.
O might we live together in a lofty palace hall, Where joyful music rises, and where scarlet curtains
fall! O might we live together in a cottage mean and
small; With sods of grass the only roof, and mud the only
wall!
O lovely Mary Donnelly, your beauty's my distress. It's far too beauteous to be mine, but I'll never wish it
less. The proudest place would fit your face, and I am poor
and low; But blessings be about you, dear, wherever you may
go!
SPRING IS COME
Y E scan the timid verdure, Along the hills of Spring, Blue skies and gentle breezes, And soft clouds wandering ! The quire of birds on budding spray,
Loud larks in ether sing ; A fresher pulse, a wider day, Give joy to everything.
