    1. [IGW] "The Short Cut to Rosses" (Donegal) -- Mrs. Nora (Jane) Hopper CHESSON
    2. Jean R.

    3. THE SHORT CUT TO ROSSES By the short cut to Rosses, a fairy girl I met; I was taken by her beauty as a fish is in a net. The fern uncurled to look at her, so very fair was she, With her hair as bright as seaweed new-drawn from out the sea. By the short cut to Rosses ('twas on the first of May) I heard the fairies piping, and they piped my heart away; They piped till I was mad with joy, but when I was alone I found my heart was piped away and in my breast a stone. By the short cut to Rosses 'tis I'll go never more Lest I be robbed of soul by her that stole my heart before, Lest she take my soul and crush it like a dead leaf in her hand, For the short cut to Rosses is the way to Fairyland. -- Nora Hopper Chesson
