- (continued from previous page)She is sick. She is going to hospital.
She is at a dance.
Then. "She is dead."
What will we dress her in.
Green for St "Carmel"
Red for St "Francis"
and Brown for St Finian.
We will dress her in green.
Now she is dressed and some carry her on their shoulders and some make a hole.
Now she is gone and we shall never see her again.
- Green Grasses Green Grasses,
The grasses so green.
the fairest yound damsel
that ever was seen
we will wash her with milk
we will dress her in silk
and write down her name
with a gold pen and ink.
