- I am sad and lonely
In this far off west
The pleasing scenes of by gone days
At night disturbs my rest.
For in this faithful heart of mine
Forgotten ne'er shall be
The days I spent with Mary bawn
Aboating on Lough Ree. II
She was fair and handsome
And gentle was the fawn,
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright
Or stars at early dawn.
A smile she had for everyone
Her kisses all for me.
In my dreams I gaze on Mary's face
A boating on Lough Ree. III
When she pledged herself to be my bride
How happy then was I
How pleasing were the joys of life
How swiftly they go by.
But heavens light shone in her eyes
She was too good for me(continues on next page)- Informant
