Easter Snow

At twilight in the morning,
As I rode out upon the dew
With my morning cloak around me,
Intending all my flocks to view.
I spied a lovely creature,
She was a charming beauty bright,
And I took her for Diana or,
The evening star that rules the night.
I being so much surprised by her
It being the forenoon of the day.
To see this lovely creature
Coming o’er the banks of sweet Loughrea.
Her snow-white breast lay naked
And her cheeks they were a rosy red,
And my heart was caplivated by
The two black eyes rolled in her head.
‘Fair maid’ I cried ‘your love I crave
For Cupid is a cruel foe.
I’ll roll you in my morning cloak
And I’ll bring you home to Easter Snow.’
‘Go home acquaint my parents
And indeed kind sir, I’ll do the same
And if both our parents give consent
Neither you nor I will bare the blame.’
