William Percy French Night Poems
- 1. Abdul Abulbul Amir
The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold
And quite unaccustomed to fear,
But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah,
Was Abdul Abulbul Amir.
... - 2. The Mountains Of Mourne
Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With people here workin' by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
... - 3. A Fairy Song
Stay, silver ray,
Till the airy way we wing
To the shade of the glade
Where the fairies dance and sing:
... - 4. Are Ye Right, There, Michael?
You may talk of Columbus's sailing
Across the Atlantical Sea
But he never tried to go railing
From Ennis as far as Kilkee
...
