As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill O'er Newtonstewart Town! As I went over the Far Hill With Marget's daughter Nellie, The night was up and the moon was out, And a star was falling down. As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill Above the Bridge o' Moyle! As I went over the Far Hill, With Marget's daughter Nellie, I made a wish before the star Had fallen in the Foyle. As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill With the hopes that I had then! As I went over the Far Hill, I wished for little Nellie, And if a star were falling now I'd wish for her again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT OF THE DARKNESS?; TO THE HAPPY DEAD PEOPLE by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE EPISTLE TO MISS TERESA BLOUNT, ON HER LEAVING THE TOWN by ALEXANDER POPE THE FLIGHT OF THE GEESE by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS |
