12 Oct 02 - 10:23 AM (#801716) Subject: Lyr Add: SONG OF GLENDUN From: GUEST,weerover As a newcomer still looking through old threads for anything of interest, I don't see that anyone posted the lyrics for Song of Glendun, so here it is: Sure this is blessed Erin an' this the same glen The gold is on the whinbush, the water sings again The fairy thorn's in flower, an' what ails my heart then? Flower o' the May, flower o' the May What about the May-time an' he far away? Summer loves the green glen, the white bird loves the sea An' the wind must kiss the heather top, an' the red bell hides a bee As the bee is dear to the honey flower, so one is dear to me Flower o' the rose, flower o' the rose A thorn pricked me one day, but nobody knows The bracken up the brae-side has rusted in the air Three birches lean together, so silver limbed and fair Och! golden leaves are flying fast, but the scarlet roan is rare Berry o' the roan, berry o' the roan The wind sighs among the trees, but I sigh alone I knit besdie the turf fire, and sin upon the wheel Winter nights for thinking long, round runs the wheel But he never knew, he never knew, that here for him I'd kneel Sparkle o' the fire, sparkle o' the fire Mother Mary, keep my love, an' send me my desire (from Mary O'Hara's book "A Song for Ireland") |
