And comes with grief to more
As to me about my country
I mean old Erins shores.

I dreamt I sat upon a hill
Beside a lonely vale
This there I spied a comely maid
And her name was Granuale.

By the pleasant morning gale
As she went along she sang a song
About poor old Granuale.

And her voice I heard it say

And what brought you this way.

My grief I cannot conceal
A partly earth brave William O Brien
And he was sent to jail.
