Traditional Irish Folk Tune

The Maids of the Mourne Shore

collected in Ballosodare, Country Sligoand first set by

Herbert Hughes (1882 -1937) in 1909

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I was young and foolish, with her did not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

WB Yeats

1889
