  1. Sweet Kate of Ardobreen

    Share Share Post
    1. The silver moon's enamoured beam,
    Steals softly through the night,
    To wanton with the winding stream,
    And kiss reflected light,
    To COurts begone -- heartsoothing sleep,
    Where you've so seldon been,
    While I Mary's watchful vigil keep.
    With Kate of Ardobreen.
    2. The nymphs and swains expectant wait
    In primrose chaplets gay
    Till morn unbars he golden gate.
    And gives the promised May,
    The nymphs and swains shall all declare
    The promised May when seen --
    Not half so fragrant -- half so fair
    As Kate of Ardobreen.
