She Lived Beside The Anner - Mary O'Hara

She lived beside the anner

At the foot of slievena mon

A gentle irish colleen

With mild eyes like the dawn

Her lips were dewy rosebuds

Her teeth were pearls rare

And a snowdrift neath a beech-en bough

Her neck and nut brown hair

How pleasant twas to meet her

On a sunday when the bell

Was filling with its mellow tones

Lone wood and grassy dell

And when at eve young maidens

Strayed the river banks along

The widows brown-haired daughter

Was the loveliest of the throng

Ah cold and well nigh callous

This weary heart has grown

For thy helpless fate dear ireland

And for sorrows of my own

Yet a tear my eye will moisten

When by the anner side i stray

For the lilly of the mountain foot

That withered far away
