CARISSIMA.

Or ever you came weeping,
Your lonely vigil keeping,
Where the dust of Love is sleeping,
Machree!
Like a wood-mouse softly creeping,
Where the pale moonshine is sweeping
The locks of the sea,
For you, dear, and me.
52

Your Patrick will love you,
Till the great Day above you
Has plunged into Night;
Till the sea is drained dry
By the sip of a fly,
Till the dead are alive, and the far is the nigh;
In the kingdom of light,
Let me die at your feet,
Nora, sweet!
