    The Rose of Avelbane
    If I was king of Ireland and all things at my will
    I would roam for recreation
    New comforts to find still
    But the comfort I would seek the most
    You may all, understand
    She is the lovely maid called Teresa
    She is the Rose of Avelbane
    II
    Her cheeks are of a rosy red.
    Her hair is of a lovely brown.
    And down over her lily shoulders.
    Her hair of brown hangs down.
    She is the fairest creature.
    And the most famous in her clan.
