A Song
“The twighlight falls soft”
A Song. 25/7/'38 I verseThe twilight falls soft.
O'er the place where we loved
In the days of our childhood to thee
Of all the fine rivers
That flow through out isle
The blue rolling Shannon for me. Chorus.At the cross near out home
At the close of the day
Where the youths and
the maidens still meet
Remember it still
Though the land's far away
The shores of Ringmoylan are sweet II VerseWhere the linnets have sung
And the children have played
And the nuts hang in clusters so brown
You can see the big ships passing
there day by day
With wealth for the merchants in town. ChorusAt the cross near out home
At the close of the day
Where the youths and the
maidens still meet(continues on next page)- Collector
