Gerald Griffin Quotes

“When, like the rising day,
Eileen Aroon!
Love sends his early ray,
Eileen Aroon!
What makes his dawning glow
Changeless through joy and woe?
Only the constant know!—
Eileen Aroon!”

“A place in thy memory, dearest,
Is all that I claim;
To pause and look back when thou hearest
The sound of my name.”
