Oh the tear is in my eye, and my heart it is breaking, br Thou hast fled from me, Connor, and left me forsaken; br Bright and warm was our morning, but soon has it faded, br For I gave thee a true heart, and thou hast betrayed it. br br Thy footsteps I followed in darkness and danger, br From the home of my love to the land of the stranger; br Thou wert mine through the tempest, the blight, and the burning; br Could I think thou wouldst change when the morn was returning. br br Yet peace to thy heart, though from mine it must sever, br May she love thee as I loved, alone and for ever; br I may weep for thy loss, but my faith is unshaken, br And the heart thou hast widowed will bless thee in breaking.
