Page 336 - LESBIA hath a beaming eye, But no one knows for whom it beameth ; Right and left its arrows fly, But what they aim at no one dreameth. Sweeter 'tis to gaze upon My Nora's lid that seldom rises ; Few its looks, but every one, Like unexpected light, surprises ! Oh, my Nora Creina, dear, My gentle, bashful Nora Creina, Beauty lies In many eyes, But Love in yours, my Nora Creina.
Page 182 - Come in the evening, or come in the morning ; Come when you're looked for, or come without warning, Kisses and welcome you'll find here before you, And the oftener you come here the more I'll adore you ! Light is my heart since the day we were plighted ; Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted ; The green of the trees looks far greener than ever, And the linnets are singing,
Page 79 - AH ! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May — Waiting for the pleasant rambles, Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, With the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy way. Ah ! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May.
Page 321 - A Girl's Babble I GO to knit two clans together ; Our clan and this clan unseen of yore : — Our clan fears nought ! but I go, O whither ? This day I go from my mother's door. Thou, red-breast, singest the old song over, Though many a time thou hast sung it before ; They never sent thee to some strange new lover : — I sing a new song by my mother's door. I...
Page 313 - Ah! my heart, my heart is throbbing, Throbbing for the May. Waiting sad, dejected, weary, Waiting for the May: Spring goes by with wasted warnings,— Moonlit evenings, sunbright mornings,— Summer comes, yet dark and dreary Life still ebbs away; Man is ever weary, weary, Waiting for the May!
Page 125 - He who over sands and waves led Israel along — He who fed, with heavenly bread, that chosen tribe and throng — He who stood by Moses, when his foes were fierce and strong — May He show forth His might in saving Kathaleen Ny-Houlahan I JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN.
Page 89 - Mo craoibhin cno ! The high-bred dames of Dublin town Are rich and fair, With wavy plume, and silken gown, And stately air ; Can plumes compare thy dark brown hair ? Can silks thy neck of snow? Or measur'd pace, thine artless grace, Mo craoibhin cno, When harebells scarcely show thy trace, Mo craoibhin cno...
Page 300 - You said you loved me, Molly dear ! Ah ! why did I believe ! Yet who could think such tender words Were meant but to deceive ? That love was all I asked on earth — Nay, Heaven could give no more. Ah, gra-ma-chree, ma, colteen oge.
Page 112 - Marry me, and prove me, and say soon you will, That noble blood is written on my right side still! My purse holds no red gold, no coin of the silver white, No herds are mine to drive through the long twilight! But the pretty girl that would take me, all bare though I be and lone, Oh, I'd take her with me kindly to the county Tyrone.
Page 96 - Eileen Aroon! Youth must with time decay, Eileen Aroon! Beauty must fade away, Eileen Aroon! Castles are sacked in war, Chieftains are scattered far, Truth is a fixed star,— Eileen Aroon!
