BY ANA LIFFEY

By James Stephens

If you come to live with me,

I will sing so heartily

In your honour that you will

Stay to wonder at my skill.

In your honour I will fill

The world with songs of triumph, till

You and I and Time are old

Pipers of the Age of Gold.

Time and you and I will hold,

Everywhere by field and fold,

Concerts of content, and be

Known afar for jollity.

Everywhere by fold and field

We will wander well-agreed;

So I sing right heartily,

Come along and live with me.
