We'll look through the trees at the cliff and the eyrie; We'll tread round the rath on the track of the fairy; We'll look on the stars, and we'll list to the river, Till you'll ask of your darling what gift you can give her. O she'll whisper you, "Love as unchangeably
beaming, And trust, when in secret, most tunefully streaming, Till the starlight of heaven above us shall quiver As our souls flow in one down eternity's river."
So come in the evening, or come in the morning, Come when you're looked for, or come without warning, Kisses and welcome you'll find here before you, And the oftener you come here the more I'll adore you. Light is my heart since the day we were plighted, Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted, The green of the trees looks far greener than ever, And the linnets are singing, " True lovers, don't sever!"
THE WEST'S ASLEEP
W
HEN all beside a vigil keep, The West's asleep, the West's asleep. Alas ! and well may Erin weep, When Connaught lies in slumber deep. There lake and plain smile fair and free, 'Mid rocks—their guardian chivalry. Sing ! oh ! let me learn liberty From crashing wind- and lashing sea. |
