- (continued from previous page)'Twas the last I saw of my colleen breágh my Inchigeela Lass.
VI
I sped through Inniscarra's groves before the dawn of day.
Took refuge in a Yankee ship that in Queenstown Harbour lay.
The captain was a Fenian bold my safety to compass.
I soon set sail from Granuaile and my Inchigeela Lass.
VII
And what became of Máirín Óg Eveleary's fairest flower.
She droops as droops the Mayflower beneath snowy wintry showers.
Ere Autumn's trees had shed their leaves they had laid her neath the grass.
That winsome rogue my Máirín Óg my Inchigeela Lass.
VIII
Eveleary dear Eveleary far across the ocean waves.
You hold what I prize most on the earth my Máirín's moss grown grave.
My present habitation is in Broadway, Boston, Mass.
But the Buacaill Ruadh is true to you My Inchigeela Lass.
