  1. Local Poems and Songs - Queen of the Feale

    Share Share Post
    O Julia gentle Julia I am lonely tonight,
    When I think of our parting my young hearts delight,
    Spring with each flower on the hillside,
    I see.
    They are fair, they are rare they remind me of thee,
    The small birds are tuning on yon hazel tree,
    Their sweet notes so charming they remind me of thee.
    They sing with each note a fragrant ?
    to deck your white ? lovely parody, Queen of the feale.

    When first that I gazed on your virgin like eyes,
    I thought you were an angel that fell from the skies,
    Whither I Desmond Chieftains would fain be your slave,
    And crown your bright eyes Queen by the lovely Feale.
