- You lovers all in hut and hall
On you I call to pity
I am undone, my heart is won
My peace is gone as you may see
I sigh and moan, my rest is flown
I am crazy grown with grief so keen
My heart betrayed from me it strayed
To the sweet maid of InniskeenThis damsel bright my soul's delight
Has skin like purest snow
Her form it seems mid beauty's beams
To haunt my dreams where 'er I go
Her winning grace and smiling face
I can't efface from memory green
In light and shade the thoughts invade
Of the sweet maid of InniskeenMy mind depressed grieved and distressed
My peace and rest are ever fled
She once was true, then joy I knew(continues on next page)
