A SONG OF KILLAKNEY.
Show me a sight Bates for delight
An ould Irish wheel wid a young Irish girl at it. 0! No! Nothin' you'll show Aquals her sittin' an' takin' a twirl at it.
Look at her there, Night in the air—
The blue ray of day from her eye laughing out on us ! Eaix, an' a foot, Perfect of cut, Peepin' to put an end to all doubt in us.
That there's a sight Bates for delight An ould Irish wheel wid a young Irish girl at it. O! No! Nothing you'll show Aquals her sittin' an' takin' a twirl at it.
See ! the lamb's wool Turns coarse an' dull
By them soft, beautiful, weeshy, white hands of her! Down goes her heel, Roun' runs the wheel, Purriu' wid pleasure to take the commands of her.
Then show me a sight Bates for delight An ould Irish wheel wid a young Irish girl at it O! No! Nothin' you'll show Aquals her sittin' an' takin' a twirl at it.
Talk of Three Fates, Sated on sates, Sninnin' and shearin' away till they've done for me. Tou may want three for your massacre, But one fate for me, boys, and only the one for me.
And Isn't that fate, Pictured complate, An ould Irish wheel wid a young Irish girl at it ? O! No! Nothin' you'll show Aquals har sittin' an' takin' a twirl at it.
