tched the headlights play
upon the trees.
From the end of the lane came Kenny's final gift of reassurance. His
rollicking voice swept into the quiet, soft with brogue, as care-free
in song as it had been earlier in laughter:
"'I'll love thee evermore
Eileen a roon!
I'll bless thee o'er and o'er
Eileen a roon!'"
Brian laughed softly.
"Joan! Joan!" he exclaimed in a rush of feeling. Their lips met.
"'Oh! for thy sake I'll tread
Where plains of Mayo spread.'"
Brian's heart went out to the irresponsible penitent rocketing in song.
"Dear lunatic!" he said.
Fainter in the night wind came the end of Kenny's song:
"'By hope still fondly led,
Eileen a roon.'"
