[00:00:08] Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning

[00:00:12] Close by the window young Eileen is spinning

[00:00:17] Bent o'er the fire her blind grandmother sitting

[00:00:21] Crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting

[00:00:25] Eileen a chara I hear someone tapping

[00:00:29] 'Tis the ivy dear mother against the glass flapping

[00:00:33] Eileen I surely hear somebody sighing

[00:00:37] 'Tis the sound mother dear of the autumn winds dying

[00:00:42] Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring

[00:00:46] Spins the wheel rings the wheel while the foot's stirring

[00:00:50] Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

[00:00:54] Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing

[00:01:07] There's a form at the casement the form of her true love

[00:01:11] And he whispers with face bent I'm waiting for you love

[00:01:16] Get up from the stool through the lattice step lightly

[00:01:20] And we'll rove in the grove while the moon's shining brightly

[00:01:24] The maid shakes her head on her lips lays her fingers

[00:01:28] Steps up from the stool longs to go and yet lingers

[00:01:32] A frightened glance turns to her drowsy grandmother

[00:01:36] Puts her foot on the stool spins the wheel with the other

[00:01:57] Lazily easily now swings the wheel round

[00:02:01] Slowly and lowly is heard now the reel's sound

[00:02:05] Noiseless and light to the lattice above her

[00:02:09] The maid steps then leaps to the arms of her lover

[00:02:14] Slower and slower and slower the wheel swings

[00:02:18] Lower and lower and lower the reel rings

[00:02:22] Ere the reel and the wheel stop their ringing and moving

[00:02:26] Through the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving

[00:02:35] Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring

[00:02:39] Spins the wheel rings the wheel while the foot's stirring

[00:02:43] Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

[00:02:47] Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
