Reynardine
Language: English
If by chance you look for me, Perhaps you’ll not me find, For I’ll be in my castle, Enquire for Reynardine. Sun and dark I followed him, His eyes did brightly shine; He took me o’er the mountains, Did my sweet Reynardine.
Fragment from an Ulster ballad, Co. Donegal version
