    We'll stray by Launa's stream of song by limpid Lyra too
    Up where the rills come from the hill to swell the Glasheen Dubh
    And love in spright will bring delight he's always sure to please
    And lead the way all smiling while we pick the blackberries

    (6)
    Oh love it is a magic power it makes the wilderness
    A heavenly scene a rosy bower a home of hope and bliss
    But let us beckon love along and like the birds in trees
    We'll while away the happy days and pick the blackberries.
