UNA BAWN by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: UNA BAWN, THE DAYS ARE LONG,
Last Line: UNA BAWN, AND I MUST BIDE.
Subject(s): IRELAND; IRISH;
UNA BAWN, the days are long,
And the seas I cross are wide,
I must go when Ireland needs,
And you must bide.

And should I not return to you
When the sails are on the tide,
'Tis you will find the days so long,
Una Bawn, and I must bide.
