wILLIAM ALLINGHAM "LUPRACAUN"
A
SMILE A DAY
LUPRACAUN
Little Cowboy, what have you heard,Up on the lonely rath's green mound?Only the plaintive yellow birdSighing in surtry fields around,Chary, chary, chary, chee-ee,Only the grasshopper and the bee."Tip-tap, rip-rap,Tick-a-tack-too!Scarlet leather, sewn together ,This will make a shoe.Left, right, pull it tight;Summer days are warm;Underground in winter,Laughing at the storm!"Lay your ear close to the hill.Do you catch the tiny clamour - Busy clook of an elfin hammer,Voice of the lupracaun singing shrillAs he merrily plies his trade?He's a span,And a quarter in height.Get him in sight, hold him tight,And you're a made man!.
