- (continued from previous page)I quickly adressed, this fair damsel
My jewel come tell me your name for its really to me you're a stranger
And I nee'r should have asked you the same
I'm a daughter to Daniel O' Connell
From England I lately sailed o'er
I came to awaken my brethern
As he slumbered in Erin's green shores

Her eyes are like two sparkling diamonds
As the stars of a bright frosty
Her cheeks were as red as the roses, and her teeth like the ivory white
She resembles the godess of beauty, and green was the mantle she wore
And it trimmed all around with the shamrocks
That grew in old Ireland's green shores.

In transports of joy I awaken
Alas! it was all but a dream
This beautiful damsel had fled
And I longed for to slumber again
May the heavens above be her guardian
I know I wont see her no more
May the sunbeam of glory now shine on her
As she strayed along Erins green shores(continues on next page)
