The Coolin'

Poem by James Stephens
Music by Ryan O’Connell (b. 1988)
​

Come with me, under my coat,
And we will drink our fill
Of the milk of the white goat,
Or wine, if it be thy will;
And we will talk until
Talk is a trouble, too,
Out on the side of the hill,
And nothing is left to do,
But an eye to look into an eye
And a hand in a hand to slip,
And a sigh to answer a sigh,
And a lip to find out a lip:
What if the night be black
And the air on the mountain chill,
And all but the fern is still!
Stay with me under my coat.
And we will drink our fill
Of the milk of the white goat
Out on the side of the hill.
