    her sleeping lover
    Her days were few upon the hill
    And many those who knew deplored them
    Now both one lonely grave do fill
    Each rolling year blooms flowers o'er them
    And oftime in the dead of night
    Is seen the proud Black baron's daughter
    By the side of Orwin gliding bright
    And roaming o'er Lough Sheelin's water
