Young Donal - Dónal Óg

Young Donal, if you cross the ocean, take me with you – don’t forget! You’ll have a keepsake on a fair-day and market, and the daughter of a Greek king for a bed-mate.

You promised me, but you lied to me, that you’d meet me at the sheep-fold; I whistled and called a thousand times for you, but all I got was the lambs bleating.

I gave you my love when I was little, and even more when I got bigger – and not the love that a lamb gives its mother, but everlasting, secure love that can’t be broken.

First time I saw you 'twas a Sunday evening 'Twas at the Easter as I was kneeling 'Twas on Christ's passion that I was reading But my mind, it was on you, and my own heart bleeding

You have taken east and west from me; you’ve taken the moon and the sun from me; you’ve taken the heart from within my breast; but my greatest fear is that you’ve taken God from me.
