English poem
Down In Kerry
by Clinton Scollard (1860–1932)
Down in Kerry maids are merry, Down in Kerry maids are fair; Laughin’ eyes an’ lips o’ cherry From Feale Water to Kenmare!
Sunny weather in the heather, Sunny weather everywhere, Be but man an’ maid together From Feale Water to Kenmare!
Care a-sheddin’, naught a-dreadin’, With just one my steps to share, That ’s the road that I ’d be treadin’ From Feale Water to Kenmare!
