  1. Folklore - Moonlight on the Mountain

    Share Share Post
    Folklore
    Moonlight on the mountain
    Come out to the door - see the moon is now rising.
    You'll all have a good view by standing just here;
    There it shines like a diamond, the raven lock decking
    The brow of the mountain, Old "Corrig - mo - Clear."
    Look, look how his sombre face lights in a moment,
    With a glad smile of welcome to greet his own queen.
    You may travel the wide world over and over,
    But search there in vain for a lovelier scene.
