Of the floss of the moon in the dusk watches won,

And the lake is a-shimmer below.

There ’s a garden that ’s fair, be it day, be it night,

A garden in Kerry I know,

And never an orient dream of delight

Can match with this garden so sweet to my sight,

For here is heart’s home to a wandering wight,—

It calls me wherever I go!

DOWN IN KERRY

Down in Kerry maids are merry,
