  1. Sweet Smiling Carnadoe

    I
    I've wandered many a weary mile
    Across the ocean foam.
    And although my future may be spent
    Far from my native home
    No matter where I chance to stay,
    Or where my footsteps go,
    I'll fondly think both night and day,
    Of sweet smiling Carnadoe.
    II
    In Summertime, o'es meadows green,
    The lark sings loud and shrill
    The cuckoo and the Corncrake,
    The thrush and whipperwill.
    The feathery songsters of the grove
    do there fly to and fro
    Among the shades and shining glases
    of smiling Carnadoe.
