THE DAWNING OF THE DAY

ONE MORNING EARLY AS I WALKED FORTH
BY THE MARGIN OF LOUGH LIEN (LANE).
THE SUN SHONE BRIGHT THE TREES IN GREEN
AND SUMMER BLOOMED AGAIN.
I LEFT THE TOWN AND WANDERED ON
THROUGH THE FIELDS I WENT MY WAY
AND WHO DID I MEET BUT COLLEEN D HAS
BY THE DAWNING OF THE DAY.
NO SHOE NOR STOCKING CAP NOR CLOAK
DID THIS LOVELY MAIDEN WEAR
HER HAIR IN LOVELY RINGLETS RARE
DOWN TO THE GRASS IN GOLD.
A MILKING PAIL WAS IN HER HAND
SHE WAS LOVELY, YOUNG AND FAIR
SHE BARE THE PSALM OF VENUS BRIGHT
BY THE DAWNING OF THE DAY.
