Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song On your green banks I wander where first I did join With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

They were both intellectuals and their love had no bounds.

Ah poor bird Take thy flight Fly above the sorrows Of this sad night.
