THE WIND OF MOURNE

by (1860–1932)

Listen in the reader

The wind of Mourne comes over the hill, Over the hill with a trill of song, And the word of the wind sets my heart athrill,— "Though life is brief, yet love is long!"

I seek my sweet where the roses stir, And the stars overhead are a marching throng, And this is the tale that I tell to her,— "Though life is brief, yet love is long!"
