by William Black (1841 - 1898)

Shena Van
Language: English 
Her eyes are dark and soft and blue,
She's light-stepped as the roe;
O Shena Van, my heart is true
To you where'er you go!

I wish that I were by the rills
Above the Alltcambân;
And wand'ring with me o'er the hills
My own dear Shena Van!

Far other sights and scenes I view:
The year goes out in snow,
O Shena Van, my heart is true
To you, where'er you go!
