THE WHITE COCKADE.
Translated from the Gaelic, by J. J. Callanan.
KING CHARLES he is King James's son,
0 ! my dear, my fair-hair'd youth,
My young men's hearts are dark with woe;
He's gone, the stranger holds his throne ;
The song from the glen, so sweet before, |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: White Cockade From: John in Brisbane Date: 28 May 00 - 07:39 PM George, I have some other pieces attributed to Cannanan in an anthology circa 1890, but alas there is no bibliography. 'The White Cockade' stuck out like a moment of talent at a Spice Girls concert. Regards, John |
