Blue-bells grew thick in Braughan;
There wor foxgloves in the glen.
Ay, I mind the childer liltin'
An' they whistlin' wid the men.
'Twas rain fell soft in Braughan,
By thon far bit fields av green;
An' 'twas kindly winds, I'm thinkin',
Swept the lonesome wee boreen!
There's blue bewhiles in Braughan;
Ay, an' pink in Foxglove Glen;
But who be the wide-eyed childer,—
Ay, who be the grey-beard men?
