Bk. 1. The minstrel boy ; The meeting of the waters ; By that lake -- Come, tell me, says Rosa ; Dear harp of my country ; The dream of home ; Erin! the tear and the smile ; Fill the bumper fair ; Oft in the stilly night ; The time I've lost in wooing -- Bk. 2. The harp that once ; 'Tis the last rose of summer ; Believe me if all those endearing young charms ; The young rose ; We may roam through this world ; Fly not yet, 'tis just the hour ; Tho' dark are our sorrows ; When time who steals our years away ; She is far from the land.
