about

Kim found this little Irish gem in a book called The Songs of Ireland. It is listed under 'popular Irish melodies' as At Eve I Wandered By The Shore.

The track is followed by a soundscape & bonus material.

lyrics

At eve I wandered by the shore
& watched the tide come in.
I heard the distant breaker roar
with hoarse resounding din.

Then onward came the flowing tide
nights shadows fell around.
Enshrouding all the ocean wide
in mystic gloom profound.

Then from the rocky steep afar
shone out a beacon light.
More brightly shining like a star
as darker grew the night.

With constant steady ray it beamed
resplendent o'er the sea
& through the gloomy darkness seemed
a star of hope to be.
