EILY MAVOURNEEN. Song by Pauline Corri, with Howorth's Eibernica. 
Eily Mavourneen, I see thee before me, Fairer than ever in death's pallid hue; Mortal thou art not, I humbly adore thee, Yes, with a love which thou knowest is true. Lookest thou in anger? ah! no, such a feeling Ne'er in thy too gentle breast had a place; Softly the smile of forgiveness is stealing, Eily, my own, o'er thy beautiful face. 
Once would my heart with the wildest emotion Throb, dearest Eily, when near me wert thou; Now I regard thee with deep calm devotion, Never, bright angel, I loved thee as now. Tho' in this world were so cruelly blighted All the fond hopes of thy innocent heart; Soon in a holier region united, Eily Mavourneen, we never shall part
