    (continued from previous page)
    lamplight on the moon,
    Or press within his loving arms the
    maid of Magheracloone.
    A cruel chain of sorrow leaves heavy on my breast.
    It is on a bed of thorns I make seek a troubled rest
    You must only pity me and think on my sad doom.
    A broken hearted maiden on the hills of Magheracloone.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
