E/G# A C#m A F#m7' E

Flow'r of the hazel glade, Eileen Aroon.

Were she no longer true

Eileen Aroon

What would her lover do

Eileen Aroon

Fly with a broken chain

far cross the sounding main

Never to love again, Eileen Aroon.

Who in the time so fleet

Eileen Aroon

Who in the song so sweet

Eileen Aroon

Dearer her charms to me

dearer her laughter free

Dearer her constancy

Eileen Aroon.

Youth will in time decay

Eileen Aroon

Beauty must fade away

Eileen Aroon

Castles are sacked in war

chieftains are scattered far

Truth is a fixed star

Eileen Aroon.

Additional first verse

When, like the dawning day

Eileen Aroon

Love sends his early ray

Eileen Aroon.

What makes his dawning glow

Changeless through joy and woe

Only the constant know

Eileen Aroon.
