IRISH MELODIES.

After the Battle

33

Alone in crowds to wander on ......

And doth not a meeting like this make amends
As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow..
As slow our ship her foamy track
As vanquish'd Erin wept beside

At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping
Avenging and bright fall the swift sword of Erin

Before the Battle

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms.

By that Lake whose gloomy shore

Desmond's Song

Come o'er the sea.....

Come, rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer......
Come, send round the wine, and leave points of belief....

Dear Harp of my country! in darkness I found thee

Down in the valley come meet me to-night

Drink of this cup-you'll find there's a spell in
Drink to her who long...

Here we dwell, in holiest bowers

How dear to me the hour when daylight dies
How oft has the Benshee cried..

How sweet the answer Echo makes

I'd mourn the hopes that leave me...

If thou'lt be mine, the treasures of air

Ill Omens

In the morning of life, when its cares are unknown

In yonder valley there dwelt, alone..

I saw from the beach, when the morning was shining

1 saw thy form in youthful prime

It is not the tear at this moment shed

[ocr errors]

I've a secret to tell thee, but hush! not here.
I wish I was by that dim Lake..

Let Erin remember the days of old..

Like the bright lamp that shone in Kildare's holy fane

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small]

Nay, tell me not, dear, that the goblet drowns
Ne'er ask the hour-what is it to us.....

Night clos'd around the conqueror's way
No, not more welcome the fairy numbers

Oh Arranmore, lov'd Arranmore

Oh banquet not in those shining bowers...
Oh blame not the bard, if he fly to the bowers
Oh breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade
Oh could we do with this world of ours

Oh doubt me not

Oh for the swords of former time

Oh had we some bright little isle of our own
Oh haste and leave this sacred isle

Oh the days are gone, when Beauty bright
Oh the sight entrancing

Oh the Shamrock

Oh think not my spirits are always as light
Oh 'tis sweet to think that where'er we rove

Oh weep for the hour

Remember thee? yes, while there's life in this heart.
Rich and rare were the gems she wore..

Sail on, sail on, thou fearless bark.....

Shall the Harp then be silent, when he who first gave
She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps.
She sung of Love, while o'er her lyre..
Silent, oh Moyle, be the roar of thy water.

Sing, sweet Harp, oh sing to me

Song of the Battle Eve

Strike the gay harp! see the moon is on high.

Sublime was the warning that Liberty spoke

Sweet Innisfallen, fare thee well

Take back the virgin page

The dawning of morn, the daylight's sinking
The dream of those days

The Origin of the Harp

The Parallel

The Song of Fionnuala

The Song of O'Ruark.

The time I've lost in wooing

The valley lay smiling before me

The Wandering Bard.

The wine-cup is circling in Almhin's hall

The young May moon is beaming, love

[ocr errors]

There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet.
There are sounds of mirth

[ocr errors]

They came from a land beyond the sea.

They know not my heart, who believe there can be
They may rail at this life-from the hour I began it
This life is all chequered with pleasures and woes
Tho' dark are our sorrows, to-day we'll forget them
Though humble the banquet

Tho' the last glimpse of Erin with sorrow I see

'Tis the last rose of summer

'Twas one of those dreams that by music are brought.... 111

War Song...

Weep on, weep on, your hour is past

We may roam thro' this world, like a child at a feast.
What life like that of the bard can be

What the bee is to the floweret...

When cold in the earth lies the friend thou hast lov'd
When daylight was yet sleeping under the billow
Whene'er I see those smiling eyes

When first I met thee, warm and young.

When he, who adores thee, has left but the name
When in death I shall calm recline..

When thro' life unblest we rove

While gazing on the moon's light

While History's Muse the memorial was keeping
Wreath the bowl.

...

Yes, sad one of Sion-if closely resembling

You remember Ellen, our hamlet's pride

Go, let me weep, there's bliss in tears
