- Alone upon a foreign strand
Beyond the ocean's foam
An Exile stands with tearful eyes
As his thoughts fly back to home
The lark's bright notes so sweetly
Upon his sad ears rung
And visions rose before his eyes
Of Sylvan Cornadrung

To be compelled to fly from your lovely woods and meadows green
Among which I hoped to die
A seek a home beyond the foam
Where surging billows rise
Far from the verdant woods
Down by Lough Gowna's side.

Rise up before me now
The Cottage too, that lovely seat
With ivy round it's brow
It's lovely hills
Its meadows green with towering trees oer hung
And in my wistful dreams Ive seen
