The green grass is growing abune their graves;

Yet the sun through the mirk seems to promise to me—

I'll shine on ye yet in your ain countrie.

Hame, hame, hame, hame, fain wad I be;

O hame, hame, hame to my ain countrie!

Allan Cunningham

[192]

DARK ROSALEEN

O my dark Rosaleen,

Do not sigh, do not weep!
