Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Father O'flynn: And Other Irish Lyrics
But a very few words are called for from me by way of preface. This book is a selection from my three volumes of Irish Lyrics, Songs of Kz'llamey, Iris/z S ongs and Ballads, and Songs of Old Ireland (fifty Irish Songs and Ballads arranged to old Irish Airs by Dr. Charles Villiers Stanford). The two earlier volumes are out of print, after running through several editions, and I am advised that there is an increasing demand for Irish Poetry, which justifies my venturing upon a reprint of those of my Lyrics which have found most favour in the Old and New Worlds.
