Hie Shaila

A tribute the fair lassies of Ireland.

Hie Shaila, 
Hie brash, 
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.

'Tis a new summer that is near,
When the pixies roam as rovers,
Where a rainbow shone no fear,
Betwixt sprack winsome clovers. 

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.

The fouse gorses blossom bain,
Within the wind blowing forth,
As the new blooms sprout fain, 
Along the wrought fields north.  

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.

In a harvest of the early morn,
Within the dun reapers strode,
Amidst teeming rows of corn,
O'er the lee that was my abode. 

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.

Across the tall grass foreseen,
Where culchies dwell listfully, 
Along corries near the boreen,
Amongst the sceachs wistfully.  

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash.
Hie, hie.

With the childer wean'd anew,
Abreast the barns by the knoll,
In shanties full of drops of dew, 
Where the pretty Colleens stroll. 

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.

Thus the wraiths wend free,
Upon the wetlands that pry, 
When the moon glows glee,
As the pixies straightway fly.

Hie Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, Hie.

Whither beside the heather,
Is a steady owl on a bough,
Amidst the brazen weather,
When the greaves oft sough.

Hie, Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie.    

'Tis a time to slumber anon,
With lullabies from mothers,
Who soothe hearts thereon,
Within the eyes of brothers.

Hie, Shaila,
Hie brash,
Hie rash,
Hie, hie,
Across 
The Irish 
marsh.

Very awesome read. I like how your writing flows together, to make me visualize everything that's going on. Many stories on here do that, and that's why most of the stories I read on here are good because you all are very talented and gifted, I visualized everything as I was reading it. Great writing. On to another topic. I have a website where I post my short stories, and blogs on. I also have ads on the website. I was wondering if you can go to my website, and click on any ad. you don't have to buy anything, I promise you won't get any viruses, all it is is google adsense on my website, and the more clicks on the ads, the more it helps grow my website. My website is bwlawson.com I appreciate it, that you would be taking part in helping my craft, business, product, and brand grow. Thank you!

Hi

I really enjoyed it and was wondering when are you going to add the music to it. :)

Glad you enjoyed the poem. As for adding music, I would be open to volunteers. Meanwhile, perhaps a recording of the poem.

[Elmarie]

Yes, that would be great with a lovely Irish accent! :)

[Franc Rodriguez]

If I can find a willing Irishman.

[Franc Rodriguez]

I am doing some recordings of my poetry for the moment.
