And her looks are sweet, and her heart is gay,

Yet a woeful wight is he;

He wakes the woods with his bugle horn,

But his heart is heavy and sore;

And he ever shuns those crags forlorn

By lone Kilbrannon shore.

For down in the lake the dead won't rest,

That vengeful murdered one;

With her little babe at her pulseless breast,

She walks the waters lone;
