Rhyme Scheme: AABC DAEFGA HAHIHI AHJKJL MNONHN| Is there one desires to hear | A |
| If within the shores of Eire | A |
| Eyes may still behold the scene | B |
| Far from Fand's enticements | C |
| - | |
| Let him seek the southern hills | D |
| And those lakes of loveliest water | A |

| Notes a goddess taught her | A |
| - | |
| Ah 't was very long ago | H |
| And the words are now denied her | A |

| Still the tones delightsome | I |
| And their breasts impassioned glow | H |
| As were Fand beside them | I |
| - | |
| And though many an isle be fair | A |
| Fairer still is Innisfallen | H |
| Since the hour Cuchullain lay | J |
| In the bower enchanted | K |
| See the ash that waves to day | J |
| Fand its grandsire planted | L |
| - | |
| When from wave to mountain top | M |
| All delight thy sense bewilders | N |
| Thou shalt own the wonders wrought | O |
| Once by her skilled fingers | N |
| Still though many an age be gone | H |
| Round Killarney lingers | N |
