Mavourneen
Language: English
Bright blue eyes long lashes under, Twin homes of love and thought and wonder, Sweet is your magic power, for lo ! I see you wheresoe'er I go ! Light of my life, my star, my sun, Mavourneen, dearest one ! O true pure woman's heart and mind, In which earth's goodness is enshrined. Sweet is your magic power, for lo ! You guide me wheresoe'er I go ! Light of my life, my star, my sun, Mavourneen, dearest one !
