Air from County Derry in G Petrie:
The Ancient Music of Ireland (1853)
Howard Arnold Walter

I would be true,
for there are those that trust me.
I would be pure,
for there are those that care.
I would be strong,
for there is much to suffer.
I would be brave,
for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all,
the foe, the friendless.
I would be giving,
and forget the gift,
I would be humble,
for I know my weakness,
I would look up, laugh, love and live.

Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes,
the pipes are calling
From glen to glen,
and down the mountain side
The summer's gone,
and all the flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come you back
when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
and white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so.

And if you come,
when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead,
as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place
where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear,
tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams
will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail
to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace
until you come to me.
