    Were I beside the Lee to-night I'd quickly find the spot,
    Where Maureen's smile brought joy unto Her widowed mother's cot.
    Where the love that sparkled in my eyes Of the sweet coleen deas,
    Still lights my way and I always pray For my Inchigeela lass.
    X1
    Eveleary! Oh! Eveleary! Though far across the waves,
    You hold what I pride most on earth My Maureen's moss-grown grave.
    My present habitation is Broadway, Boston, Mass.,
    But the Buachail Ruadh Is always true To his Inchigeela lass.
