Ireland: Vol. V. 1876–79. | | | | Glenara | | O, Fair Shines the Sun on Glenara | | Robert Dwyer Joyce (1830–1883) |
| | | O, FAIR shines the sun on Glenara, | |
| And calm rest his beams on Glenara; | |
| But, O, there ’s a light | |
| Far dearer, more bright, | |
| Illumines my soul in Glenara, | 5 |
| The light of thine eyes in Glenara. | |
| |
| And sweet sings the stream of Glenara, | |
| Glancing down through the woods like an arrow; | |
| But a sound far more sweet | |
| Glads my heart when we meet | 10 |
| In the green summer woods of Glenara,— | |
| Thy voice by the wave of Glenara. | |
| |
| And, O, ever thus in Glenara, | |
| Till we sleep in our graves by Glenara, | |
| May thy voice sound as free | 15 |
| And as kindly to me, | |
| And thine eyes beam as fond in Glenara, | |
| In the green summer woods of Glenara! | | | | |
