Dublin, Ireland

Trinity College Library
The Book of Kells


Home of The Book of Kells, the 1000+ year old lavishly Celtic Art decorated Latin copy of the Four Gospels.

Associated with St. Colum Cille (ca 521-597 A.D.) who founded his principal monastery on the island of Iona, off the west coast of Scotland about 561. Believed to have been produced in the early 9th century by the monastic monks of Iona and possibly in Kells, County Meath, Ireland where they moved in 806 A.D. after Vikings attacked and killed many monks. Book of Kells was sent to Ireland about 1653 during the Cromwellian period, and in 1661 it came to Trinity College.

The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day.

The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts,
Called for the tarts,
And scolded the knave full bore.

The Knave of Hearts,
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.

Molly Malone is the featured character in this old Irish Folksong written and composed
by
James Yorkston.



The Ballad of Molly Malone
or
Molly Malone
or
Cockles and Mussels

In Dublin's fair city where girls are so pretty
'Twas there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through street broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Now she was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her mother and father before
And they each wheeled their barrows
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"
