“My blessing rest upon thee ¶ thou merry olden time”
Tá amhrán ag mo mháthair agus "Olden Times" an t-ainm atá air:-
My blessing rest upon thee, thou merry olden time,When the fairies were in fashion and the world was in its primeEvery ruin had its goblin every green Rath had its FayTill the light of science chased them from their haunts away.
How rich wert thou in legends of magic lamps and ringsOf Genia, whom a single word to mortal aid would bringOf caves of diamonds, where foot did never strayTill the light of science chase them from their haunts away.(continues on next page)- Collector
