This is picture I took of print in a guesthouse of an original work by the artist Aileen Caffrey, and it also appears in the book "Celtic Kisses", by DeAnn Black.

I am grateful to Aileen for giving me the provenance of this work, and tender my apologies to her for inadvertently posting it without the relevant permission over a year ago.



A picture of a picture

It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.

In a field down by the river, my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy , as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree
