about

Here is a famous poem by William Butler Yeats which I have set to music.

lyrics

Down By the Salley Gardens
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Em C Bm Am
Down by the salley gardens
Em A Em A
my love and I did meet;
Em A Em A
She passed the salley gardens
Em C Em A
with little snow-white feet.
Am Em
She bid me take love easy,
Am B7
as the leaves grow on the tree;
Em G A B
But I, being young and foolish,
Em A Em
with her would not agree.

In a field 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.
