Kilrudden fronting every gale | A |
On the lorn coast of Inishfree | B |
And Lal's last bed the plunging sea | C |
- | |
Lal of Kilrudden with flame red hair | B |
And the sea blue eyes that rove and dare | B |
And the open heart with never a care | B |
With her strong brown arms and her ankles bare | B |
God in heaven but she was fair | B |
That night the storm put in from sea | C |
- | |
The nightingales of Inishkill | A |
The rose that climbed her window sill | A |
The shade that rustled or was still | A |
The wind that roved and had his will | A |
And one white sail on the low sea hill | A |
Were all she knew of love | D |
- | |
So when the storm drove in that day | E |
And her lover's ship on the ledges lay | E |
Past help and wrecking in the gray | E |
And the cry was Who'll go down the bay | E |
With half of the lifeboat's crew away | E |
Who should push to the front and say | E |
I will be one be others who may | E |
But Lal of Kilrudden born at sea | C |
- | |
The nightingales all night in the rain | F |
The rose that fell at her window pane | F |
The frost that blackened the purple plain | F |
And the scorn of pitiless disdain | F |
At the hands of the wolfish pirate main | F |
Quelling her great hot heart in vain | F |
Were all she knew of death | G |
- | |
Kilrudden ford Kilrudden dale | A |
Kilrudden ruined in the gale | A |
That wrecked the coast of Inishfree | E |
And Lal's last bed the plunging sea | C |
