Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Gael: A Collection of Anglo-Irish Songs and Ballads Wedded to Old Traditional Irish Airs As to the songs - I have aimed at selecting those which have in them the true national ring. We want in the Ireland of to-day an antidote to the Spirit of Anglicisation which is abroad. I know no more effective barrier against the encroach ment of that Spirit, next to the Irish Language and Irish Song, than the general singing at concerts and gatherings of good anglo-irish ballads and songs. The music hall and concert room may be made a very powerful agency in de-nationalising and even in debasing our people. From a national and moral point of View what effect can empty, Vulgar, mawkishly sentimental songs have And such songs are only too often heard at our so-called Irish Concerts. Or the song whose lewd allusions are thinly veiled? Or the songs that ignore and deliberately eschew the glories and noble deeds and sacri fices of our past heroes - what effect can such songs as these have on Irish youth It has been truly said that in a nation's ballads we find the history of its struggles and pro gress and triumph. A nation's habits, too, and its traditions and recollections are enshrined in its ballads. The wandering bards and minstrels became the keepers of the records of the nation and hence they were hunted down by the oppressors. A well-known collector of Irish ballads claims for Ireland as high a rank in ballad literature as that of any other nation. In this collection which I now give to the public, Irish men and women will find songs which are all racy of the soil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Broad-Sheet Ballads: Being a Collection of Irish Popular Songs There is a difference that is easily perceived between the street song and the song of the country-side. The second may contain some lonely thought, some personal emotion, but the first deals only with such passion, such humour, or such sentiment as the moving crowd can appreciate. It is easy to recall an example of either kind. Here is a song of the countryside: I'm a stranger to this countrie: From Amerikay I came; There's few here that knows me, But they can't tell my name. Some say I'm foolish, And more say I'm wise, And some say I'm guilty Fair maids to beguile. But we'll make them all liars If you'll come with me, To the Lands of Amerikay, My darling to be. In the middle of the Ocean May there grow a willow tree On the day I prove false To the lass that loves me. That the moon it may darken And show me no light The time I prove false To my own heart's delight About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Songs and Poems Y a certain River, with its harbour and bay, lies the native region of most of these poems. They possess a reality for the writer of which little, alas! Can be conveyed to his readers; For him the cold words carry life and youth in their veins; they recall real scenes and feelings. He sees the steep little Town, With its long Bridge, the country-side and its thatched Cottages (each with a human history) among rocky knolls and moors. The sun is fresh upon the morn ing Sea, or sends a parting smile across the green hilled Harbour; the fishermen haul their nets; they lie asleep on the grass; the sailors 'yo-heave-o' sounds up, 'the Clank of the chain-cable, the cease less hum Of the waterfall. He meets the pilot's daughter and her fair comrades, Sits musing on the green mound Of a Bath (one among many in the landscape) or some carved stone under the Abbey ruins; rows his boat slantingly across the rapid; plunges into brimming rock-pool or noisy waves. The Atlantic stretches limitless, the seafowl rise from the strand and y across black cliffs capt with thymy sward, the rabbits skip in the mossy dells of the warren. Wavy outline of a Mountain-range runs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Father O'flynn: And Other Irish Lyrics But a very few words are called for from me by way of preface.
