Padraic Colum - Achill Girl`s SongPadraic Colum - Achill Girl`s Song
Work rating: Low


FROM THE IRISH I’d bring you these for dowry A field from heather free, White sheep upon the mountain, And calves that follow me. I saw you by the well-side Upon Saint Finnian`s Day; I thought you`d come and ask for me But you kept far away. Oh, if you ask not for me, But leave me here instead, The petticoat in dye-pot here Will never fast its red For me upon the well-slope To wear on Finnian`s Day My dress will be the sheet bleached there, My place, below the clay!
