Cathleen Poem by John Sensele

Draw nigh, draw nigh, darling;
Talk to me, hold me, kiss me.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, Carling;
Meet me under our pine tree.

Draw nigh, draw nigh, apple of my eye;
Turn my night into day.
Draw nigh and say goodbye
To the past, to yesterday.

Draw nigh, draw nigh, honey;
Warm my bed to your heart's content.
Draw nigh, draw nigh with glee
To shame the malcontent.

Draw nigh, draw nigh, sweet sixteen;
Never leave me alone.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, Cathleen;
Our wedding date let's not postpone.
