    (continued from previous page)
    In the cottage by the mill.
    Where you played in merry childhood.
    By the stream and silent grove
    Oft i roam in pensive musing.
    On the maid that won my love.
    Fate was cruel thus to part us
    Foolish heart of mine be still
    'Tis in vain you seek your idol
    In the cottage by the Mill.
    Hard it was to lose you lassie
    And to see you never more
    In that fertile sunny valley
    Lovely cahir by the Nore
    Angels guard you from all dangers
    Keep you safe from every ill
    Praps some day you may return
    To the cottage by the mill.
