LYRICS:

One evening for pleasure I rambled

On the banks of some cold purling stream

I set down on a bed of primroses

And I gently fell into a dream.

I dreamt that I saw a fair female

Her equal I never saw before

And I sighed for the loss of our country

As we stray there on Ireland's green shore

Her cheeks were like two bloomin' roses

Her teeth were like ivory so white

Her eyes shone like two sparkling diamonds

Or the stars on some cold frosty night.

She was dressed in the richist attire

And green was the mantle that she wore

All bound down with the hemlocks and the roses

As we stray there on Ireland's green shore

Transgression of joy I awoken

And found this was only a dream

That pretty fair female had fled me

And I longed to be slumbering again.

May the heavens above be her guardian

Though I know I'll never see her anymore

May the goldliest sunbeam shine upon her

As she lies sleeping on Ireland's green shore.

One evening for pleasure I rambled

On the banks of some cold purling stream

I set down on a bed of primroses

And I gently fell into a dream.

Why does this accurately describe the last dream I had. I had never even heard this song before, I just tweeted about the dream, asking what it could mean, I had never felt those emotions and feelings before, somebody replied with a like to this video.

I should have understood what you meant. I have so many friends from other places. I must have been tired. (I'm always tired.) I'm glad you researched and found me (Tim O'Brien again. I saw his this week! I am so excited. I am getting ready to put up more of his music soon.There are 2 really nice songs I've put up lately. One is about an Irishman upset with Custer's last stand & the other is a fantastic gospel song. It's great for the vocals,even if you don't like gospel music.Thanks, Moppet

Hi. I don't know if you had sound problems or not. I just listened again, and it starts up right away, with good sound. I am sorry if it didn't play well for you. I have just put a different computer online right now. If you could listen again, I'd appreciate it. Maybe my computer is not set right. Thank you for your comment. Moppet

@mumzee52 I don't know how I missed you, but sorry it's taken me so long to let you know how much I appreciate your comment. I really like this song also. Tim is brilliant in most all he does! His 'John Riley', 'Dear Angelina', and anything from Songs from the Mountain have to be among my all time favorites. Thanks again for listening & saying 'hello'. My best to you, Moppet (Barbara)
