A Song
“The pale moon was rising behind the green mountains.”
The pale moon was rising behind the green mountains.
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
When I strayed with my love to the clear crystal fountain.
That stands in the beautiful vale of Tralee.
She was lovely and fair as the rose in the Summer
Yet it was not her beauty alone that won me
Ah, no 'twas the truth in her eyes ever beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening her mantles were spreading
And Mary all smiling was listening to me
The moon through the valley her last rays were sheding
When I first won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Yet it was not her beauty alone that won me.
But the truth in her eyes ever beaming
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee.- Collector
