CUSHLAMOCHREE, by                    
First Line: I'm calling you - calling
Last Line: And turn back the years.
Subject(s): Voices


I'm calling you -- calling
Acushla, Acushla,
The fog from your island
Grows dank and grows dark;
My voice it must reach you
It seems from the highland,
It fills and flows over
Like song of a lark.

I call you at dawning --
I call you at evening,
My heart calls you always,
My Cushlamochree;
Your smile broke the heart o' me --
Made my life lonely,
I long for you there on
Your isle in the sea.

I'm calling you -- calling,
Forever I'm calling,
But the years lie between us
With sorrow and tears;
The darkness is falling --
Acushla! Acushla!
Oh, smile on me darling,
And turn back the years.
