Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BCBC DEDE FEFE GEHE IAIA| We met her on the hillside green | A |
| Below old Castle Blarney | A |
| Her name she whispered was Eileen | A |
| Her home it was Killarney | A |
| - | |
| I see her yet her Irish eyes | B |
| Blue gray as seas in summer | C |
| And hear her welcome on this wise | B |
| Vouchsafed to each new comer | C |
| - | |
| I'll guide ye up the stairway steep | D |
| And naught will ye be missing | E |
| O' battlement or donjon keep | D |
| Or blarney stone for kissing | E |
| - | |
| The tower that was McCarthy's pride | F |
| The scene o' battles thrilling | E |
| And where the Desmond kept his bride | F |
| Me fee is but a shilling | E |
| - | |
| Here's for ye now a keepsake charm | G |
| Her low tones grow caressing | E |
| A bit o' shamrock green and warm | H |
| To bring ye luck and blessing | E |
| - | |
| The keepsake charm I have it yet | I |
| A thing of guile and blarney | A |
| Each green leaf dares me to forget | I |
| Fair Eileen o' Killarney | A |
