My Betty
When my Betty comes out to play
Running along with her happy face,
...
Across the misty fields at even tide
I hear the bells from by the riverside
And feel the chilly Autumn breezes blow
Like whispered memories of long ago.
...
While the West wind blows so warm
In the dark before the dawn
Song birds sleep with heads beneath
Their wings.
...
They loved their Scottish homelands
Their scented English glades
They loved their great Welsh mountains
And the Irish summer rains
...
The Death of the Elven King
In the dawning of the days
...
Hairy Mary
A farmer's young daughter named Mary,
Whose legs were excessively hairy,
...
To the Sun
Across the vale I see the setting sun:
The clouds are touched with golden flecks of fire
...
Uncle Sid
I never knew my uncle Sid
He was my father's brother.
...
Last night I dreamed that you were here,
Your beauty filled my eyes,
My arms enfolded you, my dear,
I did not hear your lies.
...
Man, the spoiler, sets his hand
Against the sea, against the land.
Fills the air with noxious fume,
Crowds the earth till there's no room.
...
