Kathleen Mavourneen - John McCormack

Written by：Mrs. Annie B. Crawford/Frederick N. Crouch

Kathleen Mavourneen the grey dawn is breaking

The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill

The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking

Kathleen Mavourneen what slumbering still

Oh hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever

Oh hast thou forgotten this day we must part

It may be for years and it may be forever

And then why art thou silent thou voice of my heart

It may be for years and it may be forever

Then why art thou silent Kathleen Mavourneen

Kathleen Mavourneen awake from thy slumbers

The blue mountains glow in the sun's golden light

Ah where is the spell that once hung on the numbers

Arise in thy beauty thou star of my night

Arise in thy beauty thou whole star of my night

Mavourneen Mavourneen my sad tears are falling

To think that from Erin and thee I must part

It may be for years and it may be forever

Then why art thou silent thou voice of my heart

It may be for years and it may be forever

Then why art thou silent Kathleen Mavourneen
