| | Song Story | | Sweet vale of Avoca, in the East of Ireland - I hadn`t visited that valley so sweet at the time I sang this performance, but I have since seen it and also stayed at the "Meeting of the Waters" inn nearby. Truly beautiful. Those who have seen the BBC series Ballykissangel will recognise it, since Avoca was the village where it was filmed.
| | Song Lyrics | There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet
As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet
Oh the last rays of feeling and life must part
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart
Yet it was not that nature had shed o`er the scene
Her purest of crystal and brightest of green
`Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill
Oh! no - it was something more exquisite still
Oh! no - it was something more exquisite still
`Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near
Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear
And who felt how the best charms of Nature improve
When we see them reflected from looks that we love
When we see them reflected from looks that we love
Sweet Vale of Avoca! how calm could I rest
In thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best
Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace
