Wolfe Tones - The Snowy-Breasted Pearl lyrics
There's a colleen fair as May For a year and for a day I have sought by every way her heart to gain There's no art of tongue or eye Fond youths with maidens try Yet I've tried with ceasless sigh, yet tried in vain If to France or far off Spain She crossed the watery main To see her face again the seas I'd brave But if this is Heaven's decree That mine she may not be May the Son of Mary me in mercy save Oh, thou blooming milk white dove To whom I've given true love Do not ever thus reprove my constancy There are maidens would be mine With wealth in land and kine If my heart would but incline to turn from thee But a kiss with welcome bland And touch of thy fair hand Are all that I demand would'st thou not spurn But if not mine dear girl Oh, Snowy Breasted Pearl May I never from the fair, with life, return If to France or far off Spain She crossed the watery main To see her face again the seas I'd brave But if not mine dear qirl Oh, Snowy Breasted Pearl May I never from the fair, with life, return |
