Love

Kildare

by Gilbert Parker 1862–1932

From Embers (1895)

Love

He’s the man that killed Black Care,
He’s the pride of all Kildare;
Shure the devil takes his hat off whin he comes:
‘Tis the clargy bow before him,
‘Tis the women they adore him,
And the Lord Lieutenant orders out the drums--
For his hangin’, all the drums,
All the drums!
