- I
Dreams to some come very true
And comes with grief to more
As to me about my country
I mean old Erins shores.
II
I dreamt I sat upon a hill
Beside a lonely vale
This there I spied a comely maid
And her name was Granuale.
III
As she drew near I then could hear
By the pleasant morning gale
As she went along she sang a song
About poor old Granuale.
IV
I hastened my footsteps
And her voice I heard it say
Are you from the heavens about
And what brought you this way.
V
'Twas with a sigh she did reply
My grief I cannot conceal
A partly earth brave William O Brien
And he was sent to jail.
