Linguistic - Unpublished Irish Song (continued)
“The day being goof we left Roundown”
(continued from previous page)VIII
St Kevin's Bed, we did for head
In swaying boats beneath the rock.
In water clear, we did all cheer
Our Father Rowan in GlendaloughChorus
IX
St kevin's Ben, himself he made
To enter in you must climb the rock
Where he knelt down in Saintly gowns
And blessed the shores round Glendalough.Chorus
X
On Kathleen's fell we did recall
And we descending from the rock
With Saintly voice said "soles" rejoice
And go to Heaven from Glendalough.Chorus
Then from that place, we did retrace
Beneath the bed and Saintly rock
With boats and oar we came on shore
All singing praise to Glendalough.Chorus(continues on next page)
