Extra verse for "The Wind That Shakes the Barley." Goes right before the last verse. I bore her to some mountain stream Any many's the summer blossom I placed with branches soft and green About her gore-stained bosom I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse Then rushed o'er vale and valley My vengeance on the foe to wreak While soft wind shook the barley. ---------------------------------- I like this ending better for The Unquiet Grave. "The stalk, it has withered and dried, my love Though our hearts shan't decay So make yourself content, my love 'Til death calls you away" ---------------------------------- & here's another song, similar to "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" but doesn't go with the melody I have.... I sat within the valley green I sat with my true love My sad heart had to choose between Old Ireland and my love I looked at her and then I thought How Ireland was torn While soft the wind blew down the glen And shook the golden corn T'was hard the woeful words to bring To break the ties that bound But harder still to bear the shame Of English chains around And so I said, the mountain glen I'll seek in early morn And join the brave united men While soft winds shook the corn While sad I kissed away her tears My fond arms round her clung A British shot burst in our ears From out of the wild woods round One bullet pierced my true love's side A rose pierced by a thorn And in my arms in blood she died While soft winds shook the corn So blood for blood without remorse I've taken in the glen I placed my true love's clayful corpse I joined true Irish men But around her grave I wander drear Sometimes in early morn And with breaking heart sometimes I hear The wind that shakes the corn --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
