    An Angel claimed her for his bride
    And took her from Lough Ree.
    IV
    I have crossed o'er many a thorny path
    my hair's a silvery hue.
    A thrilling voice rings in my ear
    In tones I can't subdue
    A lonely farmstead haunts my gaze
    A pleasing face I see.
    'Tis the pastures of my Mary bawn
    A boating on Lough Ree.
