The Verdant Braes Of Screen
Altan

As I roved out one evening fair

By the verdant braes of Screen

I set my back to a hawthorn tree

To view the sun in the west country

And the dew on the forest green


A lad I spied by Abhann's side

And a maiden by his knee

And he was as dark as the very brown wood

And she all whey and wan to see

All whey and wan was she


Oh, sit you down on the grass, he said

On the dewy grass so green

For the wee birds all have come and gone

Since I, my true love, have seen, he said

Since I, my true love, have seen


Then I'll not sit on the grass, she said

Nor be a love of thine

For I hear you love a Connaught maid

And your heart's no longer mine, she said

And your heart's no longer mine


And I will climb a high, high tree

And I'll rob a wild bird's nest

And back I'll bring whatever I do find

To the arms that I love best, she said

To the arms that I love best
