I know a valley fair eileen aroon

I know a cottage there eileen aroon

Far in that valley's shade

I knew a gentle maid

Flower of a hazel glade eileen aroon

Who in the song so sweet eileen aroon

Who in the dance so fleet eileen aroon

Dear are her charms to me

Dearer her laughter free

Dearest her constancy eileen aroon

When like the rising day eileen aroon

Love sends his early ray eileen aroon

What makes his dawning glow

Changeless through joy or woe

Only the constant know eileen aroon eileen aroon
