   (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)

   When health and youth conveyed me
   Through sloping groves of vernal pine
   Where love, fond love, delayed me.
   With heart elate I roamed the plain
   Where wood and glade were pleasing
   Affection led me to my Jane
   O'er hills where herds were grazing.

   But frowning fate soon changed the scene
   And all those pleasures faded
   Tormenting care with galling spleen
   My mental peace invaded.
   The sun for me now shines in vain
   Dejection is prevailing
   Yet, 'tis unmanly to complain
   When plans are unavailing.

   'Tis true I loved my country dear
   Oppression base I hated
   The voice of freedom still I hear
   Although I'm isolated.
   Oh! Erin, may your sons be free
   And tyranny suspended,
   High and exalted may you be
   When my career is ended.

   And now I'll bid a long farewell
