"The Galway Shawl"
"She Moved Through the Fair"
"The Quiet Land of Erin" (....ah, my heart is weary all alone, and it sends a lonely cry....and the lonely Sundays pass me by....I would rather back the twisted years, in the bitter wasted winds, if the God above would let me lie...)
Mary O'Hara wrote in her autobiography that The Quiet Land of Erin became somewhat her themesong before she went into the convent. Her husband, Richard Selig, died at age 27, only 15 months after their wedding.
