NORA O'CONNOR WITH THE WILD GEESE POEM FOR ORCHESTRA COMPOSED BY HAMILTON HARTY. FULL SCORE. Pace FLX 20. SNer, As The right of Public. Rep ELKIN & CO. LTD., 20, KINGLY STREET, REGENT STREET, LONDON. W. 1.w ‘Tux “Wap Gunse” was the name given by the Irith to the exiles who gave their ‘swords to France before and after the Battle of Aughrim and the surrender of Limerick in x6or. At the Battle of Fontenoy, in 1745, the Irish regiments distinguished themselves greatly, though a third of their number perished. After the battle, the Irish say that the dead arose from the field and sailed home all through the night to their beloved country. This composition is based on the following poems by Emily Lawless (Grom “ With the Wild Geese", FONTENOY, 1745. I, pevore Tue BATTLE; sioHT, Oh bad the mareh, the weary march, beneath these alien skies, But good the night, the friendly night, that socties our tired eyes. ‘And bad the was, the tedious war, thee keeps us sweltering here, But good the hour, the friendly hour, that brings the battle near: ‘That brings us on the battle, that summons to their share ‘The homeless troops, the banished men, the exiled sons of Clare. Oh little Corea Bascinn, the wild, the bleak, the fait! Ob little stony pastures, whose flowers are sweet, if rare! ‘Oh rough and rude Atlantic, the thunderous, the wide, ‘Whose kiss is like a soldier's kiss which will not be denied! ‘The whole might long we dream of you, and waking think we're there,— ‘Vain dream, and foolish waking, we never shall see Clare. ‘The wind is wild to-night, there's battle in the airs ‘The wind is from the west, and it seems to blow from Clare, Have you nothing, nothing for us, loud brawler of the night ? ‘No news to warm our heart-strings, to speed us through the fight ? In this hoffow, star-pricked darkness, as in the sun's hot glare, In sun-tide, moon-tide, star-tide, we thirst, we starve for Clare! Hark! yonder through the darkness one distant rat-tat-tat ! ‘The old foe stirs out there, God bless his soul for that! ‘old foe musters strongly, he’s coming on at last, ‘And Clare's Brigade may claim its own wherever blows fall fast, Send us, ye western breezes, our fal, our rightful share, For Faith, and Fame, and Honour, and the ruined homes of Clare. FONTENOY, 1745, Tl. AFTER THY BATTLE; EARLY DAWN, CLARE Coast “Mary mother, shield us! Say, what men are ye, ‘Sweeping past so swiftly om thie morning sea ? “Without sails oF rowlacks, merrily we glide Home to Corea Baseinn on the brimming tide. * Fesus save you, gentry } Why are ye s0 white ‘Sitting all so straight amd still i this misty light 2" “Nothing ails us, brother; joyous souls are we, Sailing home together, on the morning sea.” “ Cousins, friends, and kinsfolk, children of the land, Here we come together, a merry, rousing band ; Sailing home together from the last great fight, Home to Clare from Fontenoy, ia the morning light.” “Men of Corea Bascinn, men of Clare's Brigade, Harken ! stony hills of Clare, hear the charge we made ; See us come together, singing feom the fight, Home to Corea Bascinn, in the morning light.” (Exmy Lawes.)
