EILEEN AROON'
W
HEN, like the early rose, Eileen aroon ! Beauty in childhood blows, Eileen aroon ! When, like a diadem, Buds blush around the stem, . Which is the fairest gem? Eileen aroon I
Is it the laughing eye ?
Eileen aroon ! Is it the timid sigh ?
Eileen aroon ! Is it the tender tone, Soft as the stringed heart's moan ? Oh ! it is Truth alone,
Eileen aroon !
When, like the rising day,
Eileen aroon ! Love sends his early ray,
Eileen aroon !
1 Eibhlin a ruin, Eileen, my treasure. |
