Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Wind that Shakes the Barley Wind that Shakes the Barley by Robert Dwyer Joyce (1830-1883) I sat within a valley green Sat there with my true love And my fond heart strove to choose between The old love and the new love The old for her, the new that made Me think on Ireland dearly While soft the wind blew down the glade And shook the golden barley Twas hard the mournful words to frame To break the ties that bound us Ah, but harder still to bear the shame Of foreign chains around us And so I said, "The mountain glen I'll seek at morning early And join the brave united men" While soft wind shook the barley Twas sad I kissed away her tears Her arms around me clinging When to my ears that fateful shot Come out the wildwood ringing The bullet pierced my true love's breast In life's young spring so early And there upon my breast she died While soft wind shook the barley I bore her to some mountain stream And 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 Twas blood for blood without remorse I took at Oulart Hollow I placed my true love's clay-cold corpse Where mine full soon may follow Around her grave I wondered drear Visit www.traditionalmusic.co.uk for more songs. Noon, night and morning early With aching heart when e'er I hear The wind that shakes the barley Visit www.traditionalmusic.co.uk for more songs..

A READING OF THE COMIC ELEMENTS IN JAr.ms JOYCE'S EXILES: THE BERGSONIAN CLOWN IN THE DIONYSIAN VINEYARD Thesis Approved: :t. d){)M_.Jt..-1 - ii 1322543 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I wish to thank my dissertation chairman, Dr. Ed Walkiewicz. Despite the pressures of many pending student papers and a newborn son, Dr. Walkiewicz always found time for me. He returned my chapters with not only remarkable speed, but more importantly with precise and professional editing, contributing significantly to the content and readability of this study. His gentle tact and seemingly limitless expanse of knowledge made the nearly impossible an achievable task. A large portion of the success of this study is due to Dr. Walkiewicz's hand; the faults to my own. I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to the members of my examination committee for their helpful comments: Dr. Tom Warren for his continued sense of good humor and support, Dr. Mary Rohrberger for her willingness to join the committee at such a late date, and Dr. Ed Lawry for his insightful and kind comments as the outside member.

Irish Rebel Songs
Irish Rebel Songs Roddy McCorley See the fleet foot host of men That speed with faces wan, From farmstead and from fisher? s cot Along the banks of Bann, They come with vengeance in their eyes Too late too late are they. For young Roddy McCorley goes to die On the bridge of Toome today. Up narrow street he steps Smiling, proud and young. About the hemp rope on his neck The golden ringlets clung There was never a tear in his blue eye, Both sad and bright are they, For young Roddy McCorley goes to die On the bridge of Toome today. When he last stepped up that street, His shinning pike in hand, Behind him marched in grim array A stalwart, earnest band. For Antrim town, for Antrim town, He led them to the fray, And young Roddy McCorley goes to die On the bridge of Toome today. There was never a one of all your dead More bravely fell in fray Than he who marches to his fate On the bridge of Toome today. True to the last, true to the last, He treads the upward way, And young Roddy McCorley goes to die On the bridge of Toome today. Traditional The Wind that Shakes the Barley I sat within the valley green, I sat me with my true love My sad heart strove the two between, the old love and the new love The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden barley 'Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us And so I said, "The mountain glen I'll seek at morning early And join the bold united men,

They Dreamed and Are Dead Limerick 1916
1916 Cover 6 page.qxp_Layout 1 02/03/2016 17:59 Page 1 Too long a sacrifice Can make a stone of the heart O when may it suffice? That is Heaven's part, our part they dreamed and are dead - Limerick 1916 To murmer name upon name, As a mother names her child When sleep at last has come On limbs that had run wild. What is it but nightfall? No, no, not night but death; Was it needless death after all? For England may keep faith For all that is done and said. We know their dream; enough To know they dreamed and are dead; And what if excess of love Bewildered them till they died? I write it out in a verse- MacDonagh and MacBride And Connolly and Pearse Now and in time to be, Wherever green is worn, they dreamed and are dead Are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.

But while there is a wide range in the motives (and linguistic abilities) behind translation, most poets translate in the manner of their own original work, which is that of most Irish poetry: namely, in the voice of a singular, coherent lyric “I”, empirically grounded, expressing itself in language which is largely transparent. Stylistic liberties may be taken by this self, but its integrity is never in doubt. Translation studies calls this “naturalised” or “domesticated” translation; the source text is recreated in the target language so that it reads as if it had been written by a native speaker, and with a fluency which elides its translated status1.
