    (continued from previous page)
    I thought of Bridgheen, and my pain was no more,
    And now when the bell its signal has rung.
    I'll wander away by the banks of the Nore.
    II
    My Bridgheen is chaste, and my Bridgheen is fair,
    And I know in my heart all her love is my own,
    My fate and my fortune with her I will share,
    And I'll be more blessed than a king at his throne,
    Then come my soul's treasure you promsied to meet me,
    When work was gone home, and my day's toil is o'er
    Oh come, mo colleen! with rapture I'll greet you,
    And pull the sweet posies down by the Nore.
