about

Composed by Carroll O’Daly around 1380 — espouses his love for Eleanor Kavanagh, daughter of the Leinster chieftain comparing her to a ‘flower of the hazel glade’

lyrics

Well like the rising day
Eileen Aroon
Love sends his early ray
Eileen Aroon
What makes his dawning glow
Changeless through joy and woe
Only the constant know
Eileen Aroon

I knew a valley fair
Eileen Aroon
I knew a cottage there
Eileen Aroon
Far from that valley’s shade
I knew a gentle maid
Flower of the hazel glade
Eileen Aroon

Were she no longer true
Eileen Aroon
What would her lover do?
Eileen Aroon
Fly with his broken chains
Far o’er the bounding mains
Never to love again
Eileen Aroon

Youth must with time decay
Eileen Aroon
Beauty must fade away
Eileen Aroon
Castles are sacked in war
Chieftains are scattered far
Truth is a fixed star
Eileen Aroon
