ireland's green shore - ciarán cooney lyrics

[verse 1]
one evening for pleasure i rambled
on the banks of some cold purling stream
i sat down on a bed of primroses
and i gently fell into a dream
i dreamt that i saw a fair female
her equal i ne’er saw before
and i sighed for the laws of our country
as we stray there on ireland’s green shore

[verse 2]
her cheeks were like two bloomin’ roses
and her t**th were like ivory so white
her eyеs shone like two sparkling diamonds
or the stars on somе cold frosty night
she was dressed in the richest attire
and green was the mantle that she wore
all bound down with hemlocks and the roses
as we stray there on ireland’s green shore

[verse 3]
transgression of joy i awoken
i found this was only a dream
that pretty fair female had fled me
i longed to be slumbering again
may the heavens above be her guardian
though i know i’ll never see her anymore
may the goldiest sunbeam shine upon her
as she lay sleeping on ireland’s green shore
[outro]
one evening for pleasure i rambled
on the banks of some cold purling stream
i sat down on a bed of primroses
and i gently fell into a dream
