The lily robed in white, All, all are fair and bright; But ne'er on earth was sight
So bright, so fair, As that one glimpse of thee, That I caught then, machree, It stole my heart from me
That ev'ning there.
And now you're mine alone, That heart is all my own — That heart that ne'er hath known
A flame before. That form of mold divine, That snowy hand of thine — Those locks of gold are mine
Forevermore. Was lover ever seen As blest as thine, Kathleen ? Hath lover ever been
More fond, more true? Thine is my ev'ry vow ! Forever dear as now ! Queen of my heart be thou !
Mo cailin ruadh !'
1 Mo . . . ruadh, my golden-haired girl.
