Local Songs (continued)
“As I wander by Shannon's side.”
(continued from previous page)390When the red sun sinks in the West
And the stars twinkle in the sky
All nature is lulled to rest
And my thoughts to my loved ones fly Whispiring leaves on an Autumn eve,
What can your message be?
Whisper as you're gently falling,
Is my true love calling,
Whisper that I may see.
Oh what says your gentle voice;
What does your fancy see?
Is my love, my dear love,
Coming back to me.
Whispering me? Written by P A Conmel
