THE FIRST LOVE-SONG OF DUBLIN
[_]
(By King Magnus Barford, 1103, when advised to return to Norway before the Winter. From the Norse).
Why should I home depart?
Dublin now holds my heart:
Autumn comes,—but we cross
Not then to Nidaros.
Dublin now holds my heart:
Autumn comes,—but we cross
Not then to Nidaros.
Glad am I now to feel
My darling's true and leal
Youth rules,—my Irish dove
More than myself I love.
My darling's true and leal
Youth rules,—my Irish dove
More than myself I love.
