The Beauty of Kilmore
On pleasure bent one lovely day
As the small birds sang with glee,
To old Drumsna I made my way,
The aquatic sports to see.
As I did pass I spied a lass,
With her shoulder to the door.
Down in Killbride she does reside.
She's the beauty of Kilmore.
II
Her chin is whiter than the foam on the Bay of Biscay. O.
Her cheeks are like the rose at home that in her garden grows.
Her teeth are all unique and small.
Like diamonds shining oer,
And native thou art partial
To the beauty of Kilmore
III
I have seen the Hebrew and the Dutch,
The CHinese and Hindoo.
The maids of Athens gifted much.
But to give laudation due,
I never have seen although I've been,
On many a foreign shore.
More gifts combined by Nature kind
Than the Beauty of Kilmore(continues on next page)- Collector
