| Since ere I left my native isle | B |
| My childhood's home life's happy smile | B |
| And crossed the separating seas | C |
| Nothing my lonely heart could please | C |
| Till now and oh I cannot tell | D |
| How I admire thee Isabel | D |
| - | |
| There are in my dear island green | E |
| Most lovely faces to be seen | E |
| Beautiful eyes with kindly glee | F |
| Beamed there in laughing love on me | F |
| Now I'm alone from day to day | G |
| They're all three thousand miles away | G |
| - | |
| A stranger's face each face I see | F |
| And every eye is cold to me | F |
| No friendly voice no kind caress | H |
| No spell to break the loneliness | I |
| Until I fell beneath the spell | D |
| Of thy rare beauty Isabel | D |
| - | |
| I watch thee from my window pane | J |
| In hopes a stolen glimpse to gain | J |
| I know that purely lovely face | K |
| I know that form of stately grace | K |
| The sweet blue eye the silken hair | L |
| Whose tresses shade thy forehead fair | L |
| - | |
| Thy beauty like God's summer flowers | M |
| Blesses and cheers this world of ours | M |
| Thy smile the sunshine clear and true | N |
| Of a bright spirit looking through | N |
| But words of mine can never tell | D |
| All of thy praise fair Isabel | D |
| - | |
| Fair Isabel fair Isabel | D |
| I learned to know thy beauty well | D |
| It rose upon my exiled sight | O |
| A very treasure of delight | O |
| My loneliness so comforting | P |
| That my caged heart began to sing | P |
| - | |
| And if I sing thy beauty's fame | Q |
| Thy loveliness is all to blame | Q |
| I loved before I understood | R |
| That in thy veins flowed Erin's blood | S |
| And I could not help but tell | D |
| Of the fair maiden Isabel | D |
| - | |
| On earth the fairest sweetest spot | T |
| I'll leave and shall regret it not | T |
| Since I have left my earthly home | U |
| What matter is it where I roam | U |
| Not to the hill I bid farewell | D |
| But to the gentle Isabel | D |
| - | |
| Accept then from an Irish heart | V |
| This humble tribute ere we part | V |
| For thou to me art very dear | W |
| The lone star of my sojourn here | X |
| To thee I sadly bid farewell | D |
| God bless the maiden Isabel | D |
