MOONLIGHT AT KILLARNEY
Copyright, 1880, by T. B. Harms & Co.

The moon was shining on the lake,
The stars shone from above;
Gazing on the water,
My heart was filled with love.
There I met my darling,
Whose eyes with joy did beam,
As gently I spoke to her
Of young love's sweetest dream.

Chorus.
Moonlight at Killarney,
While stars shone from above;
Oh, what bliss! a loving kiss
From hearts that beat with love.
Oh! moonlight at Killarney,
While stars shone from above;
Oh, what bliss! a loving kiss
From hearts that beat with love.

'Tis by the margin of the lake,
Battles have been won;
Not by spear or sword,
But by blarney of the tongue.
She I know believed me,
As stars shone from above;
She gently smiled upon me,
While whisp'ring words of love. -Chorus.
