By Ana Liffey (The Rocky Road To Dublin)
by James StephensIf you come to live with me,
I will sing so heartily
In your honour that you will
Stay to wonder at my skill.
In your honour I will fill
The world with songs of triumph, till
You and I and Time are old
Pipers of the Age of Gold.
Time and you and I will hold,
Everywhere by field and fold,
Concerts of content, and be
Known afar for jollity.
Everywhere by fold and field
We will wander well-agreed;
So I sing right heartily,
Come along and live with me.
