see video of a live performance from 1971:

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby, there blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye, the night is on her hair
And like a lovesick lenanshee she hath my heart in thrall
Nor life I own, nor liberty for love is lord of all

And often when the beetle's horn hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn and thru the dooring peep
There on the cricket's singing stone, she spares the bogwood fire
And hums in sad, sweet undertone the song of heart's desire
