As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill O'er Newtonstewart Town! As I went over the Far Hill With Marget's daughter Nellie, The night was up and the moon was out, And a star was falling down. As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill Above the Bridge o' Moyle! As I went over the Far Hill, With Marget's daughter Nellie, I made a wish before the star Had fallen in the Foyle. As I went over the Far Hill, Just beyond Rathkelly, -- Och, to be on the Far Hill With the hopes that I had then! As I went over the Far Hill, I wished for little Nellie, And if a star were falling now I'd wish for her again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS HARRY PLOUGHMAN by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE SIGN OF THE CROSS by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN THE SHADED WATER by WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS TO CHILDREN: 6.
