There came to the beach a poor Exile of Erin, The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill:
For his country he sign'd, when at twilight
To wander alone by the wind-beaten hill
But the day-star attracted his eye's sad devotion,
O, heard ye yon pibroch sound sad in the gale,
Where a band cometh slowly with weeping and wail
'Tis the chief of Glenara laments for his dear;
And her sire and her people are called to her bier
At summer eve, when Heaven's ethereal
Spans with bright arch the glittering bills below,

Heaven to thy charge resigns the awful hour
Oh
O leave this barren spot to me
Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree
Though bush or floweret never
My dark unwarming shade below;
