Edward By Lough Éirn's Shore 歌词

The sun was setting behind the mountain The dew was falling upon the leaves As I was seated beside a fountain A feathered songster sang upon the trees With love and longing his notes were sounding Made me reminded of days of yore When by a bower I picked a flower And remembered Edmund by Lough Éirn's shore The cuckoo's notes on the air resounding All sound so pleasing to greet the ear And every note with peace abounding Around the valley if he were here Delight has fled me, and grief has wed me Why did you leave me, my love, a stór And every note reminds me of Edward And makes me lonely by Lough Éirn's shore Oh if I could move like a wind o'er the ocean I would send this sigh o'er the distant deep Or could I __ like a bird in motion By my Edward's side I would ever keep I'd gently soothe him, with words amuse him My love I'd prove him, and he'd sigh no more For seven years, they would soon would pass over And we'd both be happy by Lough Éirn's shore 1
