Eileen is spinning<br \/>\nBent o&#8217;er the fire her blind grandmother sitting<br \/>\nIs crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting.<\/p>\n<p>Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring<br \/>\nSwings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot&#8217;s stirring<br \/>\nSprightly and lightly and airily ringing<br \/>\nSounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Tis the ivy dear mother against the glass flapping&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Tis the sound mother dear of the autumn winds dying.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;What&#8217;s the noise I hear at the window I wonder?&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Tis the little birds chirping, the holly-bush under&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;What makes you be shoving and moving your stool on<br \/>\nAnd singing all wrong the old song of the &#8216;Coolin&#8217;?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a form at the casement, the form of her true love<br \/>\nAnd he whispers with face bent, &#8216;I&#8217;m waiting for you love<br \/>\nGet up from the stool, through the lattice step lightly<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;ll rove in the grove while the moon&#8217;s shining brightly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The maid shakes her head, on her lips lays her fingers<br \/>\nSteps up from the stool, longs to go and yet lingers<br \/>\nA frightened glance turns to her drowsy grandmother<br \/>\nPuts her foot on the stool, spins the wheel with the other<\/p>\n<p>Lazily, easily, now swings the wheel round<br \/>\nSlowly and lowly is heard now the reel&#8217;s round<br \/>\nNoiseless and light to the lattice above her<br \/>\nThe maid steps, then leaps to the arms of her lover.<\/p>\n<p>Slower and slower and slower the wheel swings<br \/>\nLower and lower and lower the reel rings<br \/>\nEre the reel and the wheel stop their ringing and moving<br \/>\nThrough the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving.<\/p>\n<div
