"Down by the Salley Gardens" - by William Butler Yeats

  Down By the Salley Gardens
   by William Butler Yeats
~~~~~~~~~ // ~~~~~~~~~   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 love easy,
   as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish,
   with her would not agree.
In a field by the river
   my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder
   she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy,
   as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish,
   and now am full of tears.    

"Down by the Salley Gardens" sung by Maura O'Connell      and Karen Matheson
