THE BISHOP'S DAUGHTER.

[_]

Air.The Maid of Killala.

I

Killala's halls are proud and fair;
Tyrawley's hills are cold and bare;
Yet, in the palace, you were sad,
While, here, your heart is safe and glad.

II

No satin couch, no maiden train,
Are here to soothe each passing pain;
Yet lay your head my breast upon,—
'Twill turn to down for you, sweet one!

III

Your father's halls are rich and fair,
And plain the home you've come to share;
But happy love's a fairy king,
And sheds a grace on every thing.
