My love's an arbutus
My love's an arbutus<br>
By the borders of Lene,
By the borders of Lene,<br>
So slender and shapely
So slender and shapely<br>
In her girdle of green.
In her girdle of green.<br>
And I measure the pleasure
And I measure the pleasure<br>
Of her eyes' sapphire sheen
Of her eyes' sapphire sheen<br>
By the blue skies that sparkle
By the blue skies that sparkle<br>
Through the soft branching screen.
Through the soft branching screen.<br>
 
But though ruddy the berry<br>
And snowy the flower<br>
That brighten together<br>
The arbutus bower,<br>
Perfuming and blooming<br>
Through sunshine and shower,<br>
Give me her bright lips<br>
And her laugh's pearly dower.<br>


Alas, fruit and blossom<br>
But though ruddy the berry
Shall lie dead on the lea,<br>
And snowy the flower
And Time's jealous fingers<br>
That brighten together
Dim your young charms, Machree.<br>
The arbutus bower,
But unranging, unchanging,<br>
Perfuming and blooming
You'll still cling to me,<br>
Through sunshine and shower,
Like the evergreen leaf<br>
Give me her bright lips
To the arbutus tree.<br>
And her laugh's pearly dower.


'''Alfred Perceval Graves (1846-1931)'''<br>
Alas, fruit and blossom
Shall lie dead on the lea,
And Time's jealous fingers
Dim your young charms, Machree.
But unranging, unchanging,
You'll still cling to me,
Like the evergreen leaf
To the arbutus tree.}}

My love's an arbutus
By the borders of Lene,
So slender and shapely
In her girdle of green.
And I measure the pleasure
Of her eyes' sapphire sheen
By the blue skies that sparkle
Through the soft branching screen.

But though ruddy the berry
And snowy the flower
That brighten together
The arbutus bower,
Perfuming and blooming
Through sunshine and shower,
Give me her bright lips
And her laugh's pearly dower.

Alas, fruit and blossom
Shall lie dead on the lea,
And Time's jealous fingers
Dim your young charms, Machree.
But unranging, unchanging,
You'll still cling to me,
Like the evergreen leaf
To the arbutus tree.
