about

A rendition of an Irish folk song inspired by verses from poet W.B. Yeats.

Dedicated to, and slightly re-written for, the newly wedded Bridget and Steve Parke.

lyrics

Down by the salley gardens,
my love and I did meet.
She passed the salley gardens
with little, snow-white feet.

She bid me take life easy,
as the leaves grow on the tree.
And I though young and foolish,
wIth her, chose to agree.


In a field down by the river,
my love and I did stand.
And on my leaning shoulder,
she placed her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy,
as the grass grows on the weirs.
And I though young and foolish,
chose her for all my years.

-Adapted from W.B. Yeats
