LAY OF THE FORLORN, by GEORGE DARLEY Poet's Biography First Line: Farewell to sliev morna Last Line: Farewell to ierne, ierne, farewell. | |||
FAREWELL to Sliev Morna, The hills of the winds! Where the hunters of Ullin Pursue the brown hinds! Farewell to Loch Ern where the wild eagles dwell! Farewell to Shan-avon, Shan-avon, farewell! Farewell to bright tresses, Farewell to bright eyes, To the snow-covered bosoms That heave with their sighs! Long, long for their heroes in vain may they swell, Farewell to fair maidens, fair maidens, farewell Farewell to our castles, Our oak-blazing halls, Where the red fox is prowling Alone in the walls! Farewell to the joys of the harp and the shell, Farewell to Ierne, Ierne, farewell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FALLEN STAR by GEORGE DARLEY THE FLOWER OF BEAUTY by GEORGE DARLEY THE GAMBOLS OF CHILDREN by GEORGE DARLEY THE LOVELINESS OF LOVE by GEORGE DARLEY A RURAL RETREAT; ENTER OF SALISBURY WITH A BOX by GEORGE DARLEY A VILLAGE BLACKSMITH by GEORGE DARLEY ETHELSTAN: SCENE by GEORGE DARLEY HUNDRED-GATED THEBES by GEORGE DARLEY LINES, FR.
