The above may indeed be the lyrics as written on page 51 of the later Songs Sung and Unsung, but below are the lyrics as printed in the earlier, 1893 Fourth Edition of Songs of the Four Nations. The most notable difference is ill-will rather than ill-winds. apparently, Boulton himself changed the lyric for his later publication of Songs Sung and Unsung.

THE CASTLE OF DROMORE
(IRISH LULLABY)
October winds lament around the Castle of Dromore,
But peace is in her lofty halls, *mo páiste veg asthore;
Though autumn leaves may droop and die, a bud of spring are you—
Sing hushabye lullaloo lo lan, sing hushaby lullaloo.
Bring no ill–will to hinder us—my helpless babe and me,
Dread spirits of the Blackwater, Clan Eoghan's wild banshee;
For Holy Mary, pitying us, in heaven for grace doth sue—
Sing hushabye lullaloo lo lan, sing hushaby lullaloo.
Take time to thrive, my rose of hope, in the garden of Dromore;
Take heed young eaglet till your wings have feathers fit to soar.
A little rest, and then the world is full of work to do—
Sing hushabye lullaloo lo lan, sing hushaby lullaloo.
HAROLD BOULTON.
*Literally, "My infant child, my treasure."
