  1. Emmet's Farewell to His Love (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    If another's love, should make you forget me,
    Do give me a promise, before that I die
    That you'll come to my grave
    When all others forsake me
    And there with the soft wind, breath sigh for sigh
    Farewell love, farewell love,
    The words are now spoken
    The pale moon is shining
    Her last beams on me
    Farwell love, farewell love
    I hear the death token
    Never more in this wide world
    Your Emmet you'll see
