about

It is not clear whether this song, dating from about 1822, is based upon an Irish air although the melody has a distinctly Irish feel.

lyrics

Love thee dearest love thee
Yet by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shine so sadly fair
Thou too oft dim with tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee dearest love thee
Yes - till death I’m thine


Leave thee dearest leave thee
No – that star is not more true
When my vows deceive thee
He will wander too
A cloud of night may veil his light
And death shall darken mine
But leave thee dearest leave thee
No – till death I’m thine
