Lyrics

Lough-a-reem-a! Lough-a-reem-a

Lies so high among the heather

A little lough, a dark lough

The water's black an' deep.

Ould herons go a-fishin' there

An' seagulls all together

Float roun' the one green island

On the fairy lough asleep

Lough-a-reem-a! Lough-a-reem-a

When the sun goes down at seven

When the hills are dark an' airy

'Tis a curlew whistles sweet!

Then somethin' rustles all the reeds

That stand so thick an' even

A little wave runs up the shore

An' flees, as if on feet

Lough-a-reem-a! Lough-a-reem-a

Stars come out, an' stars are hidin'

The wather whispers on the stones

The flittherin' moths are free

One'st before the mornin' light

The Horsemen will come ridin'

Roun' an' roun' the fairy lough

And no one there to see

Written by: Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
