In The Farmer's House	A
I'M glad to lie on a sack of leaves	B
By a wasted fire and take my ease	C
For the wind would strip me bare as a tree	D
The wind would blow oul age upon me	D
And I'm dazed with the wind the rain and the cold	E
If I had only the good red gold	E
To buy me the comfort of a roof	F
And under the thatch the brown of the smoke	G
I'd he up in my painted room	H
Until my hired girl would come	I
And when the sun had warmed my walls	J
I'd rise up in my silks and shawls	J
And break my fast beside the fire	K
And Fd watch them that had to sweat	L
And shiver for shelter and what they ate	M
The farmer digging in the fields	N
The beggars going from gate to gate	M
The horses striving with their loads	O
And all the sights upon the roads	O
	-
I'd live my lone without clan nor care	P
And none around me to crave a share	P
The young have mocking impudent ways	Q
And I'd never let them a nigh my place	R
And a child has often a pitiful face	R
I'd give the rambling fiddler rest	S
And for me he would play his best	S
And he'd have something to tell of me	D
From the Moat of Granard down to the sea	D
And though I'd keep distant I'd let in	T
	-
Oul' women who would card and spin	T
And clash with me and I'd hear it said	U
'Mor who used to carry her head	U
As if she was a lady bred	U
Has little enough in her house they say	V
And such a one's child I saw on the way	V
Scaring crows from a crop and glad to get	L
In a warmer house the bit to eat	W
Oh none are safe and none secure	X
And it's well for some whose bit is sure '	-
	-
I'd never grudge them the weight of their lands	Y
If I had only the good red gold	E
To huggle between my breast and my hands	Y
