- (continued from previous page)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.- Collector
