    “I sigh when I think on the dear happy days of my youth,”

    I sigh when I think on the dear happy days of my youth,
    When all the bright dreams of this faithless world seems true,
    As I roam through the green woods as gay as midsummer be
    In brotherly love with my dearbhráthairín óg, mo chroidhe.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
