Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDE FGFG| She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps | A |
| And lovers are round her sighing | B |
| But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps | A |
| For her heart in his grave is lying | B |
| - | |
| She sings the wild song of her dear native plains | C |
| Every note which he loved awaking | B |
| Ah little they think who delight in her strains | C |
| How the heart of the Minstrel is breaking | B |

| He had lived for his love for his country he died | D |
| They were all that to life had entwined him | E |
| Nor soon shall the tears of his country be dried | D |
| Nor long will his Love stay behind him | E |
| - | |
| Oh make her a grave where the sunbeams rest | F |
| When they promise a glorious morrow | G |
| They'll shine o'er her sleep like a smile from the West | F |
| From her own loved island of sorrow | G |
