She went her unremembering way,
She went and left in me
The pang of all the partings gone,
And partings yet to be.

Kathleen Mavourneen, the gray dawn is breaking,
The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill,
The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking--
Kathleen Mavourneen, what, slumbering, still?

Oh hast thou forgotten this day we must part?
It may be for years and it may be forever;
Oh why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart?

Persuade delay,--
What boots to say
Forego me now, come to me soon.

We only part to meet again.

Gone--flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!

Gone--flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart.
