Greatest opening lines to a song

For the day that's in it:

The summer joy is surely gone
When every clock the hour had on
Last night we masked and merry made
Under the full moon madness played

An older witch she danced with me
And later sat upon my knee
A fiddler flashed his fiddler's grin
To hell and back from lock to chin

Ancient Rain by Jimmy McCarthy.
Love Mary Coughlan's version
