But what they aim at no one dreameth. 
Sweeter 'tis to gaze upon 
My Nora's lid that seldom rises; 
Few its looks, but every one, 
Like unexpected light, surprises! 
Oh, my Nora Creina, dear, 
My gentle, bashful Nora Creina,

...eturned home to ye again;
During my absence from ye
My heart always felt great pain. 

Oh, how I long'd to see you dear Nora,
And the old folks at home;
And the beautiful Lakes o' Killarney,
Where we oft together did roam. 

Ye beautiful Lakes of Killarney,
Ye are welcome to me again;
I will now reform my character,
And from all bad company refrain.

And my mother dearer than all;
And my favourite dog Charlie
