    Like the sick man that longs for the dawn
    I long for the light of her eye
    Like the dew on a Summer's parched lawn
    Is the smile that she gives me the while
    My life then my light and my joy
    My hope and my comfort is she
    She's my darling my own promised bride
    Is ar Éirinn ní n-eósfainn cé hí.
