Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGHIHI JKJKLMLM| Oh Arranmore loved Arranmore | A |
| How oft I dream of thee | B |
| And of those days when by thy shore | A |
| I wander'd young and free | B |
| Full many a path I've tried since then | C |
| Through pleasure's flowery maze | D |
| But ne'er could find the bliss again | C |
| I felt in those sweet days | D |
| - | |
| How blithe upon thy breezy cliffs | E |
| At sunny morn I've stood | F |
| With heart as bounding as the skiffs | E |
| That danced along thy flood | G |
| Or when the western wave grew bright | H |
| With daylight's parting wing | I |
| Have sought that Eden in its light | H |
| Which dreaming poets sing | I |
| - | |
| That Eden where the immortal brave | J |
| Dwell in a land serene | K |
| Whose bowers beyond the shining wave | J |
| At sunset oft are seen | K |
| Ah dream too full of saddening truth | L |
| Those mansions o'er the main | M |
| Are like the hopes I built in youth | L |
| As sunny and as vain | M |
