    Till I would fold him to my breast
    all robed in his Irish green
    VI
    My soul has sobbed like waves of woe
    That sad o'er tombstones break,
    For I buried my heart in his grave below
    For his and for Ireland's sake,
    and I cry make way for the soldier's bride
    In your halls of death and queen
    For I long to rest by my true love's side
    and wrapped in the folds of green.
