OH! FAIR SHINES THE SUN ON GLENARA.
I
Oh! fair shines the sun on Glenara,And calm rest his beams on Glenara;
But oh! there's a light
Far dearer, more bright,
Illumines my soul in Glenara,
The light of thine eyes in Glenara.

II
And sweet sings the stream of Glenara,Glancing down through the woods like an arrow;
But a sound far more sweet
Glads my heart when we meet
In the green summer woods of Glenara,—
Thy voice by the wave of Glenara.
III
And oh! ever thus in Glenara,Till we sleep in our graves by Glenara,
May thy voice sound as free
And as kindly to me,
And thine eyes beam as fond in Glenara,
In the green summer woods of Glenara!
