Playboy of the Western World

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in County Mayo (on the west coast of Ireland) during the early 1900s. It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The play is known for its use of the poetic, evocative language of Hiberno-English, heavily influenced by the Irish language, as Synge celebrates the lyrical speech of the Irish. more »

Dweller between the waters
Oh lord come rise and see
How green and sweet thy daughter
Gray shadows fade and steal away
Twilight returns this virgin day
The key to set me free I pray

Blazing star burning so bright
A voice of light thru endless night
That heaven sent so far
Fire of the world son of the morn
The fire of time to be reborn
The last dazzling star

Dawn possess thy ancient rite
To clothe my body in warmth and light
To bless my life my hope my sight
Oh sacred gold of untold price
Oh lord of old oh lord all wise
Oh lord rejoice behold sunrise

Blazing star burning so bright
A voice of light thru endless night
That heaven sent so far
Fire of the world son of the morn
The fire of time to be reborn
The last dazzling star

Blazing star burning so bright
A voice of light thru endless night
That heaven sent so far
Fire of the world son of the morn
The fire of time to be reborn
The last dazzling star
