- (continued from previous page)I would rove night and morning Till my true love I would find
Its near the border of Elphin, you'll find here there you know
A comely maid both white and red, The pride of Boheroe.
She's proper, tall and handsome she's comely and she's mild.
She's the flower of all I notice I wish if she were mind.
When I rise every morning, I am uneasy that whole day
She living near dear old elphin And I so far away
I'll take her in my arms. And keep her from all woe.
She is my love, and dove and darling the pride of Boheroe.
