PREFACE.
GO WHERE GLORY WAITS THEE.
WAR SONG.
ERIN! THE TEAR AND THE SMILE IN THINE EYES.
OH! BREATHE NOT HIS NAME.
WHEN HE, WHO ADORES THEE.
THE HARP THAT ONCE THRO’ TARA’S HALLS.
FLY NOT YET.
OH! THINK NOT MY SPIRITS ARE ALWAYS AS LIGHT.
THO’ THE LAST GLIMPSE OF ERIN WITH SORROW I SEE.
RICH AND RARE WERE THE GEMS SHE WORE.1
AS A BEAM O’ER THE FACE OF THE WATERS MAY GLOW.
THE MEETING OF THE WATERS.1
HOW DEAR TO ME THE HOUR.
TAKE BACK THE VIRGIN PAGE.
THE LEGACY.
HOW OFT HAS THE BANSHEE CRIED.
WE MAY ROAM THROUGH THIS WORLD.
EVELEEN’S BOWER.
LET ERIN REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD.
THE SONG OF FIONNUALA.1
COME, SEND ROUND THE WINE.
SUBLIME WAS THE WARNING.
BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS.
ERIN, OH ERIN.
DRINK TO HER.
OH! BLAME NOT THE BARD.1
WHILE GAZING ON THE MOON’S LIGHT.
ILL OMENS.
BEFORE THE BATTLE.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
‘TIS SWEET TO THINK.
THE IRISH PEASANT TO HIS MISTRESS.1
ON MUSIC.
IT IS NOT THE TEAR AT THIS MOMENT SHED.1
THE ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
LOVE’S YOUNG DREAM.
THE PRINCE’S DAY.1
WEEP ON, WEEP ON.
LESBIA HATH A BEAMING EYE.
I SAW THY FORM IN YOUTHFUL PRIME.
BY THAT LAKE, WHOSE GLOOMY SHORE.1
SHE IS FAR FROM THE LAND.
NAY, TELL ME NOT, DEAR.
AVENGING AND BRIGHT.
WHAT THE BEE IS TO THE FLOWERET.
LOVE AND THE NOVICE.
THIS LIFE IS ALL CHECKERED WITH PLEASURES AND WOES
OH THE SHAMROCK.
AT THE MID HOUR OF NIGHT
ONE BUMPER AT PARTING.
‘TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.
THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.
THE YOUNG MAY MOON.
THE MINSTREL BOY.
THE SONG OF O’RUARK, PRINCE OF BREFFNI.1
OH! HAD WE SOME BRIGHT LITTLE ISLE OF OUR OWN.
FAREWELL! — BUT WHENEVER YOU WELCOME THE HOUR.
O
H! DOUBT ME NOT.
YOU REMEMBER ELLEN.
I’D MOURN THE HOPES.
COME O’ER THE SEA.
HAS SORROW THY YOUNG DAYS SHADED.
NO, NOT MORE WELCOME.
WHEN FIRST I MET THEE.
WHILE HISTORY’S MUSE.
THE TIME I’VE LOST IN WOOING.
WHERE IS THE SLAVE.
COME, REST IN THIS BOSOM.
‘TIS GONE, AND FOR EVER.
I SAW FROM THE BEACH.
FILL THE BUMPER FAIR.
DEAR HARP OF MY COUNTRY.
MY GENTLE HARP.
IN THE MORNING OF LIFE.
AS SLOW OUR SHIP.
WHEN COLD IN THE EARTH.
REMEMBER THEE.
WREATH THE BOWL.
WHENE’ER I SEE THOSE SMILING EYES.
IF THOU’LT BE MINE.
TO LADIES’ EYES.
FORGET NOT THE FIELD.
THEY MAY RAIL AT THIS LIFE.
OH FOR THE SWORDS OF FORMER TIME!
ST. SENANUS AND THE LADY.
NE’ER ASK THE HOUR.
SAIL ON, SAIL ON.
THE PARALLEL.
DRINK OF THIS CUP.
THE FORTUNE-TELLER.
OH, YE DEAD!
O’DONOHUE’S MISTRESS.
ECHO.
OH BANQUET NOT.
THEE, THEE, ONLY THEE.
SHALL THE HARP THEN BE SILENT.
OH, THE SIGHT ENTRANCING.
SWEET INNISFALLEN.
‘TWAS ONE OF THOSE DREAMS.1
FAIREST! PUT ON AWHILE.
QUICK! WE HAVE BUT A SECOND.
AND DOTH NOT A MEETING LIKE THIS.
THE MOUNTAIN SPRITE.
AS VANQUISHED ERIN.
DESMOND’S SONG.1
THEY KNOW NOT MY HEART.
I WISH I WAS BY THAT DIM LAKE.
SHE SUNG OF LOVE.
SING — SING — MUSIC WAS GIVEN.
THO’ HUMBLE THE BANQUET.
SING, SWEET HARP.
SONG OF THE BATTLE EVE.
THE WANDERING BARD.
ALONE IN CROWDS TO WANDER ON.
I’VE A SECRET TO TELL THEE.
SONG OF INNISFAIL.
THE NIGHT DANCE.
THERE ARE SOUNDS OF MIRTH.
OH, ARRANMORE, LOVED ARRANMORE.
LAY HIS SWORD BY HIS SIDE.
OH, COULD WE DO WITH THIS WORLD OF OURS.
THE WINE-CUP IS CIRCLING.
THE DREAM OF THOSE DAYS.
SILENCE IS IN OUR FESTAL HALLS.1
NATIONAL AIRS
A TEMPLE TO FRIENDSHIP.
FLOW ON, THOU SHINING RIVER.
ALL THAT’S BRIGHT MUST FADE.
SO WARMLY WE MET.
THOSE EVENING BELLS.
SHOULD THOSE FOND HOPES.
REASON, FOLLY, AND BEAUTY.
FARE THEE WELL, THOU LOVELY ONE!
DOST THOU REMEMBER.
OH, COME TO ME WHEN DAYLIGHT SETS.
OFT, IN THE STILLY NIGHT.
HARK! THE VESPER HYMN IS STEALING.
LOVE AND HOPE.
THERE COMES A TIME.
MY HARP HAS ONE UNCHANGING THEME.
OH, NO — NOT EVEN WHEN FIRST WE LOVED.
PEACE BE AROUND THEE.
COMMON SENSE AND GENIUS.
THEN, FARE THEE WELL.
GAYLY SOUNDS THE CASTANET.
LOVE IS A HUNTER-BOY.
COME, CHASE THAT STARTING TEAR AWAY.
JOYS OF YOUTH, HOW FLEETING!
HEAR ME BUT ONCE.
WHEN LOVE WAS A CHILD
SAY, WHAT SHALL BE OUR SPORT TO-DAY?
BRIGHT BE THY DREAMS.
GO, THEN— ‘TIS VAIN.
THE CRYSTAL-HUNTERS.
ROW GENTLY HERE.
OH, DAYS OF YOUTH.
WHEN FIRST THAT SMILE.
PEACE TO THE SLUMBERERS!
WHEN THOU SHALT WANDER.
WHO’LL BUY MY LOVE-KNOTS?
SEE, THE DAWN FROM HEAVEN.
NETS AND CAGES.1
WHEN THROUGH THE PIAZZETTA.
GO, NOW, AND DREAM.
TAKE HENCE THE BOWL.
FAREWELL, THERESA!
HOW OFT, WHEN WATCHING STARS.
WHEN THE FIRST SUMMER BEE.
THO’ ‘TIS ALL BUT A DREAM.
WHEN THE WINE-CUP IS SMILING.
WHERE SHALL WE BURY OUR SHAME?
NE’ER TALK OF WISDOM’S GLOOMY SCHOOLS.
HERE SLEEPS THE BARD.
DO NOT SAY THAT LIFE IS WANING.
THE GAZELLE.
NO — LEAVE MY HEART TO REST.
WHERE ARE THE VISIONS.
WIND THY HORN, MY HUNTER BOY.
OH, GUARD OUR AFFECTION.
SLUMBER, OH SLUMBER.
BRING THE BRIGHT GARLANDS HITHER.
IF IN LOVING, SINGING.
THOU LOVEST NO MORE.
WHEN ABROAD IN THE WORLD.
KEEP THOSE EYES STILL PURELY MINE.
HOPE COMES AGAIN.
O SAY, THOU BEST AND BRIGHTEST.
WHEN NIGHT BRINGS THE HOUR.
LIKE ONE WHO, DOOMED.
FEAR NOT THAT, WHILE AROUND THEE.
WHEN LOVE IS KIND.
THE GARLAND I SEND THEE.
HOW SHALL I WOO?
SPRING AND AUTUMN.
LOVE ALONE.
SACRED SONGS
THOU ART, O GOD.
THE BIRD, LET LOOSE.
FALLEN IS THY THRONE.
WHO IS THE MAID?
THIS WORLD IS ALL A FLEETING SHOW.
OH THOU WHO DRY’ST THE MOURNER’S TEAR.
WEEP NOT FOR THOSE.
THE TURF SHALL BE MY FRAGRANT SHRINE.
SOUND THE LOUD TIMBREL. MIRIAM’S SONG.
GO, LET ME WEEP.
COME NOT, OH LORD.
WERE NOT THE SINFUL MARY’S TEARS.
AS DOWN IN THE SUNLESS RETREATS.
BUT WHO SHALL SEE.
ALMIGHTY GOD!
OH FAIR! OH PUREST!
ANGEL OF CHARITY.
BEHOLD THE SUN.
LORD, WHO SHALL BEAR THAT DAY.
OH, TEACH ME TO LOVE THEE.
WEEP, CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
LIKE MORNING, WHEN HER EARLY BREEZE.
COME, YE DISCONSOLATE.
AWAKE, ARISE, THY LIGHT IS COME.
THERE IS A BLEAK DESERT.
SINCE FIRST THY WORD.
HARK! ‘TIS THE BREEZE.
