  *++Lyrics:|\\
Eilleen Allanna, Eilleen Asthore,\\
Light of my soul and its Queen evermore,\\
It seems years have lingered since last we did part,\\
Eilleen Allanna, the pride of my heart,\\
Oh! darling lov'd one your dear smile I miss;\\
My lips seem to cling to that sweet parting kiss!\\
Mavourneen, thy dear face I see at the door,\\
Eilleen Allanna, Augus Asthore.\\
\\
Eilleen Allanna, Eilleen Asthore,\\
The ocean's blue waters wash by the shore\\
Of that dear land of Shamrock where thou dost abide,\\
Waiting the day when I'll call thee my bride!\\
God bless you, darling, I know you are true,\\
True to the boy, who would die now for you;\\
My heart is now bleeding to its innermost core,\\
Eilleen Allanna, Augus Asthore.\\
