- Adieu: Lovely Erin I am now going
to leave you.
May peace ever dwell in your valleys
so green.
Where oft-times I roved by the shades
of the evening.
With charms of love there plain to
be seen.
Your lovely green hills and your sweet
scented valleys.
Where the black-bird and thrush there
together yoll see.
But I as an exile I am doomed
for to wander.
Far over the Atlantic dear Eirn
from thee.
There is one chrystal fountain where
oft-times I wander.
Its charms of beauty still run
through my mind.
It is elevated as queen of all
others.
Adieu: Lough A Salt must I leave
you behind.(continues on next page)
