Eileen is spinning,
Bent o 'er the fire her blind

grandmother's sitting,
Is crooning and moaning and
drowsily knitting.

Sounds the sweet voice
D

of the unfaded sea

against the glass flapping

Aily, I surely hear somebody sighing
G

of the autumn winds dying

And we'll roam in the grove
D 
while the moon's shining

Slowly and lowly is hand

Slower and slower and slower
D 
the wheel swings

Through the grove the ant lovers
D 
by moonlight are roaming
