THE FAIRIES.

Up the airy mountain, / Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting F or fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather!

Down along the rocky shore Some make their home, They live on crispy pancakes Of yellow tide-foam; Some in the reeds Of the black mountain-lake, With frogs for their watch-dogs, All night awake.

High on the hill-top

The old King sits; He is now so old and gray

He's nigh lost his wits.

\\'ith a bridge of white mist Columbkill he crosses, . On his stately journeys

From Slieveleaguc to Rosses; Or o-oina UI) with music <::> t:> On cold starry nights.

To sup with the Queen Of the gay Northern Lights.

They stole little Bridget For seven years long; \Vhen she came dom1 again H er friends were all gone. They took her lightly back, Between the night and morrow, They thought that she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow. They have kept her c\'er since Deep within the lake, On a bed of flag-leaves, \Vatching till she wake.

By the craggy hill-side, Through the mosses bare, They have planted thorn-trees F or pleasure here and there.

Is any man so daring

As dig them up in spite, He shall find their sharpest thorns In his bed at night.

Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, \Ve daren't go a-hunting.

F or fear of little men; \Vee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather! >-

THE ELF SINGING.

AN Elf sat on a twig,

He was not very big, He sang a little song, He did not think it wrong;

ut he was on a V/izard's ground, \Vho hated all sweet sound.

Elf, Elf, Take care of yourself!

He's coming behind you, To seize you and bind you, And stifle your song.

The Wizard! the Wizard! He changes his shape In crawling along,

An ugly old ape, A poisonous lizard,

A spotted spider,

A wormy glider, The Wizard! the Wizard!

He's up on the bough,

He'll bite through your gizzard

He's close to you now!

Donegal

The Elf went on with his song, I t grew more clear and strong, It lifted him into air, He floated singing away, With rainbows in his hair; While the Wizard-worm from his creep Made a sudden leap, Fell down into a hole, And, ere his magic word he could say, Was eaten up by a Mole. ,......

THE FAIRY KING.

"High 011 tile Ilill-t(lj

The old Killg sits " lIe is 1101(/ SO old and sray He's 1ligll lost !Lis 1(lils."

THE Fairy King was old. He met the \Vitch of the \Vold.

" Ah ha, King!" quoth she, " Now thou art old like me."

"Nay, Witch !" quoth he, " I am not old like thee."

The King took off his crown, It almost bent him down; His age was too great To carry such a weight.

"Give it here!" she said, And dapt it on her head.

Crown sank to ground; The \Vitch no more was found . Then sweet spring-songs were sung, The Fairy King grew young, His crown was made of flowers, He lived in woods and bowers.

CHORUS OF FAIRIES.

GOLDEN, golden, Light unfolding, Busily, merrily, work and play, In flowery meadows, And forest shadows,

All the length of a Summer day!

Sprightly, lightly, Sing we rightly, Moments brightly hurry away; Fruit-tree blossoms, And roses' bosoms,-

Clear blue sky of a Summer day!

Dear blue sky of a Summer day!

Springlets, brooklets, Greeny nooklets, Hill and Valley, and salt sea-spray, Comrade rovers, F airy lovers,-

ROBIN REDBREAST.

GOOD-BVE, good-bye to Summer!

F or Summer's nearly done; The garden smiling faintly, Cool breezes in the sun ;

Our Thrushes now are silent, Our Swallows flown away,-

But Robin's here, in coat of brown, \Vith ruddy breast-knot gay.

Robin , Robin Redbreast, o Robin dear!

Robin singing sweetly I n the falling of the year.

Bright yellow, red, and orange, The leaves come down in hosts ' ,

The trees are Indian Princes, But soon they'll turn to Ghosts; The scanty pears and apples

Hang russet on the bough, It's Autumn, Autumn, Autumn late, 'Twill soon be 'Vinter now.

Robin, Robin Redbreast, o Robin dear!

And welaway! my Robin, For pinching times are near. 24 /

The fireside for the Cricket, The wheatstack for the Mouse

When trembling night-winds And moan all round the house'

The frosty ways like iron, '

The branches plumed with snow,-

Alas! in \Vinter, dead and dark.

Where can poor Robin go ?

Robin, Robin Redbreast, o Robin dear,

And a crumb of bread for Robin, His little heart to cheer.

DREAMING.

A STRANGE little Dream

On a long star-beam

Ran down from the midnight skies, To curly-hair'd Fred

Asleep in his bed, With the lids on his merry blue eyes.

Under each lid

The thin Dream slid, And spread to a picture inside, A new V\' orld there, Most strange and rare, Tho' just by our garden-side. 30

Donegal

Rivers and Rocks, And a Treasure-Box, And Floating in Air without wings, And the Speaking Beast, And a Royal Feast, My chair beside the Kmg's;

A Land of Flowers, And of lofty Towers

Carved over in marble white With living Shapes Of Panthers and Apes That gambol in ceaseless flight; And a Cellar small With its Cave in the \Vall Stretching many a mile underground! And the Rope from the Moon !F red woke too soon. For its end could never be found.

SEASONS.

IN Spring-time, the Forest, I n Summer, the Sea, In Autumn, the Mountains, In \Vinter,-ah me!

How gay, the old branches A-swarm with n ew buds, The primrose and bluebell Fresh-blown in the woods, All green things unfolding, Where merry birds sing!

I love in the \V oodJands To wander in Spring.

\Vhat joy, when the Sea-waves, In mirth and in might, Spread purple in shadow, Flash white into light! The gale fills the sail, And the gull flies away; In crimson and gold

Sets the long Summer Day.

o pride! on the Mountains To leave earth below; The great slopes of heather, One broad purple glow; The loud-roaring torrent Leaps, bound after bound, To plains of gold Autumn, \ Vith mist creeping round

Ah, \Vinct, is it YVinter?

Yes, \Vinter is here; \Vith snow on the meadow, And ice on the mere.

The daylight is short, But the firelight is long; Our skating's good sport; Then story and song.

In Spring-time, the Forest, In Summer, the Sea, In Autumn, the l\lountains,And \Vinter has glee.

THE CAT AND THE DOG.

THERE once lived a Man, a Cat, and a Dog,

And the Man built a house with stone and log.

" If you'll help to take care of this house with me,

One indoors, one out, your places must be."

Said both together, "Indoors I 'll stay!"

And they argu e d th e matt e r for half-a-day.

"Come, let us sing for it! " purrs the Cat;

"No !" barks the Dog, " I won't do that."

"Come, let us fight for it !" growls Bow-wow;

" Nay!" says Pussy, "mee-ow, mee-ow! "

"\Vell, let us rac e for it !"-said and done .

The course is mark'd out, and away they run.

Puss bounded off; the Dog ran fast;

Quickly was Puss overtaken and pass'd;

But a Beggar who und e r the h edge did lie

Struck the poor Dog as h e gallop'd by

A blow with his staff, and le ssen'd his pace

To a limp: so Pussy won the race.

The Beggar went on his way to beg ;

Dog was cured of his limping leg; And Cat keeps the insid e of the house, Watching it well from rat and mouse,

Dog keeps the outside, ever since then,

And a lways b a rks at beggar -men.

"BIRDIE, Birdie, will you pet?

Summer-time is far away yet,

You'll have silkeri quilts and a velvet bed,

And a pillow of satin for your head 1"

" I'd rather sleep in the ivy wall ;

o rain comes through, tho' I hear it fall ;

The sun peeps gay at dawn of day,

And I sing, and wing away, away 1"

"0 Birdie, Birdie, will you pet?

Diamond-stones and amber and jet

\Ve'll string for a necklace fair and fine

To please this pretty bird of mine!"

"0 thanks for diamonds, and thanks for jet,

But here is something daintier yet,-

A feather-necklace round and round,

That I wouldn't sell for a thousand pound! ,.

"0 Birdie, Birdie, won't you pet?

\ Ve'll buy you a dish of silver fret,

A golden cup and an ivory seat,

And carpets soft beneath your feet!"

" Can running water be drunk from gold?

Can a silver dish the forest hold?

A rocking twig is the finest chair,

And the softest paths lie through the air,-

Good-bye, good-bye to my lady fair!"

I wish I were a Primrose,

A bright yellow Primrose blowing in the Spring!

The stooping boughs above me, The wandering bee to love mc, The fern and moss to creep across, And the Elm-tree for our king!

Nay-stay! I wish I \\-ere an Elm-tree,

A great lofty Elm-tree, with green leaves gay!

The winds would set them dancing, The sun and moonshine glancing,

The Birds would house among the boughs, And sweetly sing!

O-no! I wish I were a Hobin,

A Robin or a little \V ren, everywhere to go ; Through forest, field, or garden. And ask no leave or pardon,

Till \Vinter comes with icy thumbs

To ruffle up our wing.

Vvell-tell! Where should I fly to, \ \' here go to sleep in the dark wood or dell ? Before a day was over, Home comes the rover, For Mother's kiss,-sweeter this Than any other thing!

THE

LEPRACAUN; OR,

F A I R Y S HOE 1\1 A K E R.

LITTLE Cowboy, what have you heard,

Upon the lonely rath's green mound?

Only the plaintive yellow bird

Sighing in sultry fields around, Chary, chary, chary, chee-ee!-

Only the grasshopper and the bee ?-

" Tip-tap, rip-rap, Tick-a-tack-too!

Scarlet lcathcr sc\vn together,_

This will make a shoe .

Left, right, pull it tight; Summer days are warm; Underground in winter, Laughing at the storm!"

Lay your ear close to the hill.

Do you not catch the tiny clamour,

Busy click of an Elfin hammer, Voice of the Lepracaun singing shrill

As he merrily plies his trad e ?

He's a span And a quarter in height.

Get him in sight, hold him tight,

And you're a made Man!

11.

You watch your cattle the summer day, Sup on potatoes, sleep in the hay:

How would you like to roll in your carriage, Look for a Duchess's daughter in marriage?

Seize the Shoemaker-then you may!

" Big boots a-hunting, Sandals in the hall, 'Vhite for a wedding-feast, Pink for a ball.

This way, that way, So we make a shoe; Getting rich every stitch, Tick-tack-too !"

Nine-and-ninety treasure-crocks

This keen miser-fairy hath, Hid in mountains, woods, and rocks, And where the cormorants build; From times of old Guarded by him; Each of them fill'd

Full to the brim

\Vith gold!

HI.

I caught him at work one day, myself, In the castle-ditch where foxglove grows,- --

A wrinkled, wizen'd, and bearded Elf, Spectacles stuck on his pointed nose, Silver buckles to his hose,

49 Donegal County Library Service

Leather apron-shoe in his lap" Rip-rap, tip-tap, Tack-tack-too!

(A gree n cricket on my cap! Away th e moth flew!)

Buskins for a fairy prjnce, Brogues for his son,Pay me well, pay me well, \\'h e n the job is done !"

The rogue was mine, beyond a doubt.

I stared at him, h e stared at me ;

" Servant, Sir! " " H umph !" says he, And pull'd a snuff-box out.

He took a long pinch, look'd better pleased, The queer little Lepracaun ;

Offer'd the box with a whimsical grace, Pouf! he tiung the dust in my face, And, while I sneezed, "Vas gone!

Rat/Is, very ancien t fort s or a:nt renched dwelling-places, on hills: the remains of lh ec;e are common III Irel:md and resemble what are called Rings" in Engbnd.

YES or No?

Stay or Go?

He never can tell, he' ne\' er will know! \Ye must not wait, 'Ve'll all be late.

While Barnaby puzzles his queer little pate!

What do you say?

Off and away!

l\Iake up your mind to go or to stay. Fix on your plan, Step out like a man, And follow your nose as fast as you can!

There's the curtain of night over all, There's our own window-curtain so small, And least in their size, . Over Emily's eyes Her fringed little eyelids will fall.

She kneels at the side of her bed, And softly her prayers are said; Now, a kiss, my Dear; Come, Angels, near, And keep watch round the little one 's bed. /

Do all your sleeping at night, For then niddy-noddy is right ; But awake you must keep , And it won ' t do to sleep, In the middl e of broad daylight.

The sun at the end of the day Takes his mighty great candle away ; A curtain on high Is drawn over the sky, And the stars peep thro ' if they may.

A SWING SONG.

SWING, swing, Sing, sing,

Here's my throne, and I am a King!

Swing, sing, Swing, sing, Farewell earth, for I'm on the wing!

Low, high, Here I fly,

Like a bird through sunny sky; Free, free, Over the lea, Over the mountain, over the sea!

Up , down, Up and down, \ Yhich is the way to London Town? \Yhere, where?

Up in the air, Close your eyes, and now you are t he r e!

Soon, soon, Afternoon, Over the sunset, over the moon; Far, far, Over all bar,

Sweeping on from star to star! No, no, Low , low,

Sweeping daisies with my toe . Slow, slow, To and fro, Slowslow--slow---slow.

BIRDS' NAMES.

OF Creatures with Feathers, come let us see

Which have names like you and me.

Hook-nosed Poll, that thinks herself pretty, Everyone knows, of all birds most witty.

Friendly Daw, in suit of gray,

Ask him his name, and' Jack!' he'll say.

Pert Philip Sparrow hopping you meet, " Philip! Philip !"-in garden and street.

Bold Robin Redbreast perches near, And sinas his best in the fall of the year. b Grave Madge Owlet shuns the light, And shouts" hoo ! hoo!" in the woods at night.

N iahtinaale sweet, that l\Iay loves well, ;:, b Old Poets have call'd her Philomel, But Philomelus, he sings best, \Vhile she sits listening in her nest.

Dartina 1artin!- tell me why b They call you Martin, I know not, I ; l\Iartin the black, under cottage eaves, l\Iartin the small, in sandy caves.

Merry \Villy \Vagtail, what runs he takes! \Vherever he stops, his tail he shakes.

Head and tail little Jenny \V ren perks, As in and out of the hedge she jerks.

Brisk Tom Tit, the lover of trees, Picks-off every fly and grub he sees.,

Mag, the cunning chattering Pie, Builds her home in a tree-top high,Mag. you're a terrible thief, 0 fie!

Tom and Philip and Jenny and Polly, Madge and Martin and Robin and \Villy, Philomelus and friendly J ack,Mag the rogue, half-white, half-black, Stole an egg from every Bird; Such an uproar was never heard; All of them flew upon 1ag together, And pluck'd her naked of every feather.

" You're not a Bird!" they told her then, "You may go away and live among men!"

DOWN ON THE SHORE.

DOWN on the shore, on the sunny shore!

\Vhere the salt smell cheers the land;

\Yhere the tide moves bright under boundless li ght ,

And the surge on the glittering strand;

\\There the children wade in the shallow pools,

Or run from the froth in play;

\Yhile the swift little boats with milk-white wings

Are crossing the sapphire bay,

And the ship in full sail, with a fortunate gale

Holds proudly on her way;

\Vhere the nets are spread on the grass to dry,

And asleep, hard by, the fishermen lie,

Under the tent of the warm blue sky,

\Yith the hushing wave on its golden floor

To sing their lullaby. n.

Down on the shore, on the stormy shore!

Beset by a growling sea,

\Yhose mad waves leap on the rocky steep

Like wolves up a traveller's tree:

"There the foam flies wide, and an angry blast

Blows the curlew off, with a screech;

\Vhcre the brown sea-wrack, torn up by the roots, Is flung out of fishes' reach;

And the tall ship rolls on the hidden shoals,

And scatters her planks on the beach;

\.\There slate and straw through the village spin, .

And a cottage fronts the fiercest din

With a sriilor's wife sitting sad within,

Hearkening the wind and the water's roar,

Till at last her tears begin.

THE BUBBLE.

SEE, the pretty Planet!

Floating sphere! _

Faintest breeze will fan it

Far or near;

\\' orld as light as feather; Moonshine rays,

Rainbow tints, together, As it plays;

Drooping, sinking, failing, Nigh to earth,

Mounting, whirling, sailing, Full of mirth;

Life there, welling. flowing, \Vaving round;

Pictures coming, going, \Vithout sound.

Quick now! be this airy Globe repell'd!

N eyer can the fairy Star be held.

Touch 'd-it in a twinkle Disappears!

Leavin g but a sprinkle, As of tears. Donegal County Library Service

AMBITION.

TIlE Sea! as smooth as silk, And the froth of it like new milk, And the sky a wonderful blue, The cliff harebells have it too, And scatter'd all over the shore A thousand Children or more!

Suppose we join, one-will'd, A City of Sand to build, With a rampart broad and strong

From rock to rock alol1g, Solid and firm enough

To last till the sea grows rough And the days turn chilly and short, The end of our seaside sport, \Yhen all must bundle and pack And swift in the train go back, Big folk and little folk, To London lamps and smoke?

Let's draw out our plan to-night, Begin it with morning light.

\ Ve'll bring all the Children together And build in the sweet sunny weather.

\Vhat use in a House of Sand?

But a City-that would be grand!

o yes, I am sure it ,yill stand!

And I, 'who first thought of the thing, Perhaps they will make me King-: 66

THE BALL.

ALL men, black, brown, red, yellow, white

Are brethren in their Father's sight.

To do each other good is right, But not to wrangle , steal, or fight.

A thousand millions, young and old, Some in the heat, some in the cold, Upon this Ball of Earth are roll 'd

Around the Sun's great flame of gold.

And this great Sun is like indeed

One daisy in a daisied mead ;

F or GOD'S power doth all thought exceed. And of us also He takes heed .

HIS Lordship's Steed

Of a noble breed

Her Ladyship's pony, Sleek and bonny, Cantering neatly, neatly.

Lane is not wide, A hedge on each side, The Ass is beginning to bray;

"Ha!" says the Cadger, As bold as a badger, "This way is my way toO!"

Says the Lady mild, And sweetly smiled, " My Friend, that's perfectly true."

The Cadger look'd round, Then jump'd to the ground, And into the hedge pull'd Neddy.

"0 thank you! " says she, "Ax pardon! " says he, And touch'd his old hat to the Lady.

Tom sat in his hole, his horns hung out, He play'd away on his fiddle; The Cockroaches danced in a rabble rout, Scrambling and scurrying all about, Th ' they had their own steps and figures no doubt, o Hands across, and down the middle.

As a Cockroach ran by, says Tom Cricket to him, " Fetch me up a piece of p<'!ato, Good Sir I-to mix in the crowd I'm too slim.'

Says Jack Cockroach, " I see you are proud and prim; To eat alone is merely your whim,-

Which I never will give way to

"Come down, " says he, "and look out for your share!"

" I won't do that," says Tom Cricket.

And when for another dance they care,

And call upon Tom for a lively air,

They find he has drawn himself back in his lair.

., Ho,," shameful," th ey cry, " How wicked !"

" Let's fill up th e mouth of his ca, ' e with soot, Because he's behaved so badly!"

They ran lip and down the ",all to do't ;

But ere half-done a dreadful salute!

In came the Cook, and the Scullion to boot, And off they all scampered madly.

Till, "Stay!" says a Fat One,-" We're El,ves,

To dance all night without stoppmg . Now for supper!" They help'd themselves, F or the servan ts were gone to bed; on shelves And tables they quested by tens and twelve.s, And quick to the floor kept droppmg.

THE YEAR OF HARDSHIPS.

JANU .\RY, Bitter, "cry!

February damp, Sir;

}\I arch blo\\'s

On April's nose.

-;\Iay has caught the cramp, Sir; Jline.

\\'ithout a slIn or moon!

JIII y, A lIgLlSl, -;\lany a ra\\' gust; September, October, November, December, T en times worse than I ever remember.

No apples, or hay, or honey, or corn ;

I'm sure it wasn't a fat year.

\Vhene\,er you and I \\'e re born, Good-luck it wasn't in that year!

A RIDDLE.

\VIIAT I say you'll scarce believe, Yet my ,,'ords shall not deceive.

I saw what seem'd a little Boy, \Vith a face of life and joy; He danced, he ran, he nodded, he smiled. Jlist like any other Child;

But could not speak, (how strange was this!)

Or cry. or breathe, nor could [ kiss, To save my life. the cherry red Of lips, not living and not dead!

He was no picture, statue. doll ; He was not a Child at all ; He was T othing, as near as could be , He was as real as you or me.

-There he is: turn and see!
