  1. Eden Vale

    Share Share Post
    This sweet vale of Eden is rare to be seen
    It is covered all over with a mantle of green
    It's enclosed in the bosom of two lofty hills
    With a beautiful river and two ancient mills
    The beauty of this Valley is charming and sweet
    It's intended by nature for sweethearts to meet
    They may pass oe'r the path and tell a love tale
    As they roam through the groves of sweet Eden Vale
    The beauty of this Vally is charming and gay
    To see where the lambs they rool sport and play
    Where the woodquest and woodcock do coo in their sleep
    Where the white and salmon do leap in the deep
