[hometext] => A love story with an Irish flavour...
[bodytext] => She took her tea In a fine china cup While an old chipped mug Served as his to sup He was Catholic And very devout She, a High Protestant Whom conventions would flout He was handsome A true son of the soil While, she was winsome And not meant for hard toil It was in the market On a warm spring day Each, saw the other In that special way So the two met And fell in love The young man, the lass, And a small... White Dove To mark their special Happiness you see And each felt blessed 'til eternity It was just a year Since they'd been wed Chancing to walk home Another way instead Their cozy cottage Lie off the Crumlin Road Near the Borstal Arms A Republican abode The lovers tarried To share a wee cuddle As the cruel bomb's blast Turned their street to rubble The hard men On each side paused Momentarily saddened... At such a terrible loss What price Freedom... What price the bloody Crown Stoney, 23 November '98, Revised 18 May 2002 Fortunately, things have gotten a lot better in the old country since I wrote this one.
