Subject(s): Evening; Orchards; Shadows; Sunset; Twilight
The evening shades are falling within the orchard grove
And Kathleen O'Dare goes passing by.
O lightly pass, lightly tread, Kathleen O'Dare,
While the shadows gather in the sky.
One heavy heart lies dead where once you laid your head
And now a voice no more shall name your name.
A heavy heart lies dead where once you laid your head
Now who will bear with you and hold your shame?
The evening shades are falling within the orchard grove
And Kathleen O'Dare goes passing by.
O lightly pass, gently tread, Kathleen O'Dare,
While the shadows gather in the sky.
