11When she answered me her voice was low,When she answered me her voice was low – but, oh!
22But minstrel never matched his chordsNot, Erin, thine own harp’s impassioned chord
33To such a wealth of wordsWith prouder bliss e’er bade my bosom glow,
44In Tomora’s palace long ago.Than she has kindled by that one sweet word.
55
66When her eyes looked back the love in mine,When the colleen’s eyes looked back the love in mine,
77Not Erin’s self upon my sightMy Erin, never after darkest night
88Has started out of stormy nightWith bluer welcome o’er the ocean line
99With a bluer welcome o’er the brine.Thy shore has started on my patriot sight.
1010
1111And no other orbs can e’er eclipseAnd, Erin, bid thy son as soon believe
1212That magic look of maiden love,Thy song expired, thy star of promise set,
1313And never song my soul shall moveAs dream my darling’s eyes could e’er deceive
1414Like that low sweet answer of her lips.Her lips their low sweet answer all forget.
