- The Star of DonegalOne evening fair to take air
Alone I chanced to stray,
Down by a lucid silvery stream,
That ran along my way,
I spied two lovers talking,
Seated by a ruined hall.
And the fair ones name was Mary
Or the Star of Donegal.

He pressed her hand and then began
My darling I must go,
Into the land of stars and stripes,
Where peace and plenty flow,
But I want your faithful promise,
That you will wed none at all
Until I do,
Return into my Star of Donegal(continues on next page)- Collector
