198 BALLAD POETRY
THE BRIDAL OE MALAHIDE.*
AN IKISH LEGEND.
BY GERALD GRIFFIN.
The joy-bells are ringing
In gay Malahide,
The fresh wind is singing
Along the sea-side ;
The maids are assembling
With garlands of flowers,
And the harpstrings are trembling
In all the glad bowers.
Swell, swell the gay measure !
Roll trumpet and drum !
'Mid greetings of pleasure
In splendour they come 1
The chancel is ready,
The portal stands wide
Eor the lord and the lady,
The bridegroom and bride.
What years, ere the latter,
Of earthly dehght
The future shall scatter
O'er them in its flight !
What blissful caresses
Shall Eortune bestow,
Ere those dark-floMng tresses
Eall white as the snow !
