The Lady of the Emerald Isle

Verse 1: Upon the misty moors there dwelt, A lady fair with eyes so bright, Her hair like woven strands of kelp, Her smile like dawn’s first light. Chorus: Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above, Of lost love on the Emerald Isle, Where hearts once beat in cadence of A love that fate beguile. Verse 2: A knight from lands afar did roam, To claim her heart with vows so grand, Beneath the stars, they dreamt of home, With clasped hands upon the sand. Chorus: Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above, Of lost love on the Emerald Isle, Where hearts once beat in cadence of A love that fate beguile. Verse 3: But war’s cruel hand did tear apart, The woven dreams at seam and fold, Left naught but ache in lady’s heart, A tale through ages told. Chorus: Oh sing, sweet nightingale, above, Of lost love on the Emerald Isle, Where hearts once beat in cadence of A love that fate beguile.
