Verse and Reverse (1921)/Wake-Song of Coleraine


​

Wake-Song of Coleraine

Life was a pain, but life is o'er—
Sleep ye softly. Mavourneen!
Love was a hurt, but love's no more—
Rest ye, rest ye, Mavourneen!
Out slips the tide all silvery white,
Sleep ye softly, Mavourneen,
Nor life nor love can hurt ye to-night.
Rest ye, rest ye, Mavourneen!

—Jean Blewett
