MAIDIN CHEÓDHACH NUAIR D'EIRIGHEAS (When I Rose on a Misty Morning). Irish, Air (4/4 time). G Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Joyce gives one stanza:

Maidin cheodhach nuair d'eirigheas,
Is chuadhas amach fa'n gcoill ghlas,
Is ann do bhuail an treighid me
Nach leighisfear, faraoir!
Do chuala an bhruinneall mheidhreach,
A luib na coille droighneach,
Do phreab mo chroidhe le greann di,
Gur dheigh-bhean dam I!

One morn when mists did hover
The Green-wood's foliage over,
Twas then I did discover
How painful love may be;
A maid, mid shades concealing,
Poured forth her voice of feeling,
And love come o'er me stealing,
She's a dear maid to me!
