Irish Harps by Mark Andrew Heathcote

By Raja's Insight on June 5, 2019 • ( 0 )

Irish harps cast a spell when played well

It could be that those players are pretty,

And they put me under some, kind of spell

Secretly my heart wants to accompany,

Drum to every string, and hope one look

From me and they’ll lose their heart, their key

Oh, Irish-Rose you keep me on tenterhooks

Oh, Irish harps cast a spell on me.

The hand that plucks this chord must grasp the flame

And touch the burning that can’t be, doused

And not even a good strong stout can drain

The way she picks those strings out of my heart

Irish harps cast a spell when played well

Oh, Emerald Isle, you’re the star of my heart

Oh, look at me now dumbstruck open-mouthed

It could be desire comes to me unannounced.
