Sir Samuel Ferguson Night Poems
- 1. The Fairy Thorn
“Get up, our Anna dear, from the weary spinning-wheel;
For your father's on the hill, and your mother is asleep;
Come up above the crags, and we'll dance a Highland reel
Around the Fairy Thorn on the steep.”
... - 2. The Downfall Of The Gael
My heart is in woe,
And my soul deep in trouble,-
For the mighty are low,
And abased are the noble:
... - 3. The Coolun
Ah, had you seen the Coolun,
Walking down by the cuckoo's street,
With the dew of the meadow shining
On her milk-white twinkling feet.
