Nora O’Neal.

NORA O'NEAL.

Oh! I'm lonely to-night love, without you,
 And I sigh for one glance of your eye;
For, sure there's a charm, love, about you.
 Whenever I know you are nigh.
Like the beam of the star when 'tis smiling.
 Is the glance which your eye can't conceal,
And your voice is so sweet and beguiling
 That I love you, sweet Nora O'Neal.

CHORUS.

 Oh! don't think that ever I'll doubt you.
  My love I will never conceal,
 Oh! I'm lonely to-night, love, without you,
  My darling, sweet Nora O'Neal!

Oh! the nightingale sings in the wild-wood,
 As if every note that he knew
Was learned from your sweet voice in childhood,
 To remind me, sweet Nora, of you.
But I think, love, so often about you,
 And you don't know how happy I feel,
But I'm lonely to-night, love, without you,
 My darling, sweet Nora O'Neal!

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh! why should I weep tears of sorrow?
 Oh! why to let hope lose its place?
Won't I meet you, my darling, to-morrow,
 And smile on your beautiful face?
Will you meet me? Oh! say you will meet me

 With a kiss at the foot of the lane,
