APPENDIX 1
1.Á mbéinn féin in Áird a Chumhaing,
In aice an tsleibhe tá bhfad uaim,
Ba annamh liom gan dul ar cuairt
Go gleann na gcuach, Dé Domhnaigh.
Curfá
Och,ach Éaraí-agus ó!
Éaraí, lean dom agus ó!
Sé mo chroí tá troimseach,brónach
2.Is iomaí Nollaig a bhí mé féin
I mBun Abhann Doinne is mé gan chéill,
Ag iomáin ar an trá bháin
S mo chamán bán mo dhorn liom.
Curfá
3.Nach tuirseach mise anseo liom féin
Nach n-airím guth coiligh lon dubh no traon.
Gealbhán, smólach, naoscach fhéin,
s chan aithním féin an Domhnach
1.If only I were in Aird a Chumhaing
Near that distant mountain
Rarely would I let a Sunday pass
Without visiting the cuckoos glen
Chorus
Och och Airey(Harry) and oh
Aireyand oh
My heart is heavy and sad
2.Many a Christmas I would be
In Cushendun in my younger days
Hurling on the white strand
My fair hurl in my hand.
Chorus
3 Am I not weary here alone
Missing the bird song
No voice of cock, blackbird or corncrake
Nor do I even realise its Sunday
The Narrow Gauge Line
By Siobhan Ni Luain
Looking up through the trees,
Leaning out from the door
I shall never again
See the train from Parkmore
With its small shining engine
So sturdy and grand
And it winding its way
Through the length of the land
Oh there once was a time,
And a time there was then,
When the train, like the river,
Was part of the Glen,
And the thread that connected us,
Silver and fine,
With the rest of the world
Was the narrow gauge line
You never knew what
That small train would be bringing
To the halt by the bushes
With all the birds singing;
With its soft trail of smoke
And its rumble of thunder;
And who would get out
Would be half a days wonder.
When I was a child
Id have said that for ever
The train would endure
Just the same as the river.
But the worlds in a hurry
With your life and mine
And it hasnt much use for
A narrow -gauge line
Ossians Grave
By Sydney Bell
They say
It was here that Ossian died:
I wonder if bright-haired Niamh cried?
Whose lonely fingers piled the cairn
And heaped it high with maiden fern?
They say
That only the plovers know
The feet that track the drifted snow,
And the peeweets cry
Though theyve never seen-
The name of the one who loved Ossian.
I hope and I hope
That he found somewhere
His slender Niamh of the yellow hair,
For theirs was a song too brief to scan
With a rickle of bones
And an old,blind man.
