Where are you wandering now


Ramble you in Connemara
Across that misty moor
And does your heart beat loudly
By Killarney's stony shore

And do you bloom in Dublin
I've enquired in Stephen's Green
I've searched through Londonderry
Twixt the Orange and the Green

And as busy as they were
They sloped arms for a while
To muse on you with rich sweet brogue
Red remembered with a smile

They said you passed as a ghost
Walks through the hazel wood
Or Aengus searching for his love
Walks through the hazel wood

Where is my wild rose
Where is my flower
Where is my wild rose
Where are you wandering now
