- As I roved out one evening,
In the lovely month of May
To take a walk by the mountain-side
My course did chance to stray,
The flowers, they were blooming,
As I gazed down by the shore.
I walked alone and seen by none
To the valley of sweet Glenmore.
II
As I wakled along to view the vales
Of the lofty mountain-peaks,
I saw a maid advancing
With red hair and rosy cheeks.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright,
And a plain white dress she wore,
When first I saw the Maiden Queen
The Pride of Sweet Glenmore.
III
Young Mary was the fairest
That e'er appeared to me
Her hair hung o'er her shoulders
Most glorious to see.
I would give all Ireland and all its costly [?]
To call her mine in course of time]The Pride of Sweet Glenmore.(continues on next page)
