The Eerie Emerald Isle

The Amadawn ‘ave played the joker for the Good folks fairy Coort ‘T was they ‘ave egged the paper birches an’ touch’d the scare crow’s stalks. They ‘ave giv'n leerin pumpkin ‘eads to Dullahan black ‘eadless ‘orse. Tied the liein’ Leprechain’s tongues. Changed the dread Pooka’s course. Stol'n the noble Banshees keen moan. an ‘idden ‘er bone white comb. They ‘ave lured two changeling lovers to Red Man’s bloody ‘ome. N’er free since June, the jesters play their brash tricks on Samhain’s eve. Stealin’ all the gifts left fur the dead ‘neath mournin’ mortals trees. N’t till the sunrise will they lave off wid ‘ the Leprechauns in toe. And sadly scurry ‘omeward bound sure laven us all alone!
