- God guard the barque that bears thee far
From Innisfail and me
Thy sorrowing friends may soon forget
But shrined in memory
Thou still wilt gild my lonely path
Along life's misty ways
And must I ? Must I lose thee now?
No more on thee to gaze.And when I see some gallant ship
Depart from Erin's isle
And bearing Keltic hearts away
And beauty's witching smile
I'll think upon those eyes that rained
Their smiles of love on me
And all but curse the friend that lured
My Mary dear from me.God safely waft thy snowy sail
And speed thee on I pray
Thou mayest yet this wish forget
When far from me away
But no! that heart being good and true
Will not behave unkind
For thou wilt sometime think of him
Now left so lone behind.- Informant
