Click here to enjoy Maura O'Connell with Karen Matheson with a beautiful version of Down by the Salley Gardens (1998) which is a poem by Yeats.

Here is the Yeats poem and lyrics to the song...

Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I being young and foolish with her did 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.
