 NORA O'NEAL.

Oh! I'm lonely to-night love, without you,

&emsp;And I sigh for one glance of your eye;

For, sure there's a charm, love, about you.

&emsp;Whenever I know you are nigh.

Like the beam of the star when 'tis smiling.

&emsp;Is the glance which your eye can't conceal,

And your voice is so sweet and beguiling

&emsp;That I love you, sweet Nora O'Neal.

CHORUS. &emsp;Oh! don't think that ever I'll doubt you.

&emsp;&emsp;My love I will never conceal,

&emsp;Oh! I'm lonely to-night, love, without you,

&emsp;&emsp;My darling, sweet Nora O'Neal!

Oh! the nightingale sings in the wild-wood,

&emsp;As if every note that he knew

Was learned from your sweet voice in childhood,

&emsp;To remind me, sweet Nora, of you.

But I think, love, so often about you,

&emsp;And you don't know how happy I feel,

But I'm lonely to-night, love, without you,

&emsp;My darling, sweet Nora O'Neal! (Repeat Chorus)

Oh! why should I weep tears of sorrow?

&emsp;Oh! why to let hope lose its place?

Won't I meet you, my darling, to-morrow,

&emsp;And smile on your beautiful face?

Will you meet me? Oh! say you will meet me

&emsp;With a kiss at the foot of the lane,
