Dublin Reel Irish Descendants

A maiden fair, she had long dark hair
And her eyes like the darkest coal
A taunting smile that would sure beguile
And melt the hardest soul
Dancing lightly, sprightly
She stole his heart with a whirl, that girl
He'll not forget the night they met
In a dance called the Dublin reel

They walked out to the starry night
And the crescent moon had a glow
It felt so right with their hands held tight

As they looked at the town below
Chancing a kiss he missed her cheek
And she pulled away to sway
To the pull-round sound of the faerie mound
As they danced to the Dublin reel

They were dancin’, all night long
Dancin' till the break of dawn
They were dancin', all night long
Dancin’ till the break of dawn

The dark of night turned into light
And he asked, what was her name?
"Matters not," was all he got
As on the grass they lay
Listenin' to stories, glories
Seen of another world, this girl
She must have left while he soundly slept
Havin' danced to the Dublin reel
