I. Down by the Salley Gardens
"Down by the Salley Gardens" (Irish: Gort na Saileán) is a poem by William Butler Yeats published in The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems in 1889.
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley 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 would not agree.
It has been suggested that the location of the "Salley Gardens" was on the banks of
the river at Ballysadare near Sligo where the residents cultivated trees to provide
roof thatching materials. "Salley" or "sally" is a form of the Standard English word
"sallow", i.e., a willow tree of the genus Salix. It is close in sound to the Irish
word saileach, which also means willow.
The tune is the traditional air "The Maids of Mourne Shore.
II. The Foggy Dew
The lyrics for the "The Foggy Dew" were written by Fr. Charles O’Neill (1887–1963) from Portglenone, County Antrim, who was at the time of writing, a curate at St. Peter's Cathedral, Belfast, and later in life was parish priest of Kilcoo and then Newcastle, County Down.
The music is from a manuscript that was in possession of Kathleen Dallat, sister of Bishop Michael Dallat of Ballycastle. It is the same air as the traditional love song The Moorlough Shore.
Duration: 2’ 10” and 2’ 30”.
