A BROKEN SONG, by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE Poet's Biography First Line: Where am I from?' from the green hills of erin Last Line: Where she is gone there I can never go. Alternate Author Name(s): O'neill, Moira | |||
'Where am I from?' From the green hills of Erin. 'Have I no song then?' My songs are all sung. 'What o' my love?' 'Tis alone I am farin'. Old grows my heart, an' my voice yet is young. 'If she was tall?' Like a king's own daughter. 'If she was fair?' Like a mornin' o' May. When she'd come laughin' 'twas the runnin' wather, When she'd come blushin' 'twas the break o' day. 'Where did she dwell?' Where one'st I had my dwellin'. 'Who loved her best?' There's no one now will know. 'Where is she gone?' Och, why would I be tellin'! Where she is gone there I can never go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CORRYMEELA by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE BEAUTY'S A FLOWER by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE CUTTIN' RUSHES by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE THE GRAND MATCH by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE ON AN INTAGLIO HEAD OF MINERVA (1) by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FLORENCE VANE by PHILIP PENDLETON COOKE A MUSICAL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR ULTIMA VERITAS by WASHINGTON GLADDEN LYING IN THE GRASS by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE |
