UNA BAWN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Una bawn, the days are long,
Last Line: Una bawn, and I must bide.
Subject(s): Ireland; Irish


UNA BAWN, the days are long,
And the seas I cross are wide,
I must go when Ireland needs,
And you must bide.

And should I not return to you
When the sails are on the tide,
'Tis you will find the days so long,
Una Bawn, and I must bide.
