- I an sad and lonely
In this far-out west
The happy scenes of bygone days
Each night disturbs my rest
For in thus faithful heart of mine
Forgotten ne'er shall be
The days I spent with Mary Bawn
A boating on Lough Ree. She was young and handsome
And gentle as the fawn
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright
Or stars at early dawn.
Her smiles she had for everyone
Her kisses all for me.
In my dreams I gaze on Mary's face
A boating on Lough Ree.When she pledged herself to be my bride,
How happy then was I!
How fleeting then the joys of life!
How swiftly they go by!
But the Heaven's light shone in her eyes
She was too good for me.
An angel marked her for his bride
And took her from Lough Ree.(continues on next page)- Informant
