letra de wind that shakes the barley - frank harte

[verse 1]
i sat within the valley green
i sat me with my true love
my sad heart strove the two between
the old love and the new love
the old for her, the new that made
me think on ireland dearly
while soft the wind blew down the glen
and shook the golden barley

[verse 2]
’twas hard the woeful words to frame
to break the ties that bound us
but harder still to bear the weight
of foreign chains around us
and so i said, “the mountain glen
i’ll seek at morning early
and i’ll join the brave united men”
while soft winds shake the barley

[verse 3]
while sad i kissed away her tears
my fond arms ’round her flinging
the foeman’s shot burst on our ears
from out the wild woods ringing
a bullet pierced my true love’s side
in life’s young spring so early
and on my breast in blood she died
while the soft wind shook the barley
[verse 4]
but blood for blood without remorse
i have taken at oulart hollow
i’ve laid my true love’s clay-cold corpse
where i full soon must follow
around her grave i’ve wandered drear
noon, night and morning early
with aching heart whene’er i hear
the wind that shakes the barley
