William Percy French Sea Poems

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. Gortnamona

I thought the birds were singing in the blackthorn tree;
But oh, it was my heart that was ringing, ringing, ringing,
With the joy that you were bringing, oh my love, to me

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
... - 4. Are Ye Right, There, Michael?

Across the Atlantical Sea
But he never tried to go railing
From Ennis as far as Kilkee
