Spinning Wheel |
| Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning |
| Close by the window young Eileen is spinning |
| Bent o’er the fire her grand grandmother sitting |
| Is crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting |
| Merrily cheerily noisily whirring |
| Swings the wheel spins the wheel while the foot’s stirring |
| Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing |
| Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing |
| Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping |
| 'Tis the ivy dear mother against the glass flapping |
| Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing |
| 'Tis the sound mother dear of the autumn winds dying |
| There’s a form at the casement, the form of her true love |
| And he whispers with face bent, I’m waiting for you love |
| Get up on the stool, through the lattice step lightly |
| And we’ll rove in the grove while the moon’s shining brightly |
| Merrily cheerily noisily whirring |
| Swings the wheel spins the wheel while the foot’s stirring |
| Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing |
| Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing |
| The maid shakes her head, on her lips lays her fingers |
| Steals up from the seat, longs to go and yet lingers |
| A frightened glance turns to her drowsy grandmother |
| Puts one foot on the stool spins the wheel with the other |
| Lazily, easily, swings now the wheel round |
| Slowly and lowly is heard now the reel’s sound |
| Noiseless and light to the lattice above her |
| The maid steps, then leaps to the arms of her lover |
| Slower and slower, and slower the wheel swings |
| Lower and lower, and lower the reel rings |
| There the reel and the wheel stop their spinning and moving |
| The grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving |
