    (continued from previous page)
    In springtime where the daisies grow,
    And tears were said where my young wife lies,
    In her lonely grave by Lough Sheelin side.
    VI
    Farewell old Ireland, and Eileen too.
    Our ship is ready, I bid adieu,
    For I now must cross o'er the ocean wide,
    From my own loved home by Lough Sheelin side.
