    Lass
    III
    We passed through Inniscarra groves at the dawning of the days
    Took passage in a yanke ship
    That in Queenstown harbour lay
    The Captain being a fenian bold
    In safety to compass.
    I sailed away from Gráinnawails
    With my Inchigeela lass
    IV
    Eve Leary o' how sweet the name
    Rings in an exile year
    Though I have not seen her heath clad hills
    For five and twenty years
    'Twas there I met my hearts delight
    On a Sunday morn at mass
    I knelt and prayed in the chapel there with my Inchigeela Lass
