KITTY BHAN, by EDWARD WALSH First Line: Before the sun rose at yester-dawn Alternate Author Name(s): Walshe, Edward | |||
Before the sun rose at yester-dawn, I met a fair maid adown the lawn; The berry and snow to her cheek gave its glow, And her bosom was fair as the sailing swan. Then, pulse of my heart! what gloom is thine? Her beautiful voice more hearts hath won Than Orpheus' lyre of old had done; Her ripe eyes of blue were crystals of dew, On the grass of the lawn before the sun. And, pulse of my heart! what gloom is thine? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHIDIN BAN MO STOR (FAIR YOUNG BRIDE) by EDWARD WALSH MAIRGREAD NI CHEALLEADH by EDWARD WALSH MO CRAOIBHIN CNO (MY CLUSTER OF NUTS) by EDWARD WALSH O'DONOVAN'S DAUGHTER by EDWARD WALSH SONG OF THE PENAL DAYS; 1720 by EDWARD WALSH IRISH WAR-SONG by EDWARD WALSH ON THE COLD SOD THAT'S O'ER YOU by EDWARD WALSH SONGS OF THE NATION by EDWARD WALSH ON BOARD THE '76; WRITTEN FOR BRYANT'S SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS by THOMAS MOORE THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE OLD GREY MARE by MOTHER GOOSE |
