Six Love Songs (n.d., Glasgow)/Farewell, Farewell
FAREWELL, FAREWELL.
Farewell, farewell, dear Erin's Isle!
My native land, adieu!
I've seen thy hours of sunshine smile,
And mark'd thy sorrows too.
The pale moon trembles on the deep,
But ere the morning dawn,
The winds will only hear me weep
For thee, my Peggy Bawn.
My native land, adieu!
I've seen thy hours of sunshine smile,
And mark'd thy sorrows too.
The pale moon trembles on the deep,
But ere the morning dawn,
The winds will only hear me weep
For thee, my Peggy Bawn.
And though I haste beyond the sea,
Where sweeter scenes may smile,
My heart unchang'd will turn to thee,
My own, my native isle.
But now a long, a kind farewell,
To mountain, grove, and lawn,
While tears alone my parting tell,
From thee, my Peggy Bawn.
Where sweeter scenes may smile,
My heart unchang'd will turn to thee,
My own, my native isle.
But now a long, a kind farewell,
To mountain, grove, and lawn,
While tears alone my parting tell,
From thee, my Peggy Bawn.
