Thou Dearest Kathleen
Thou dearest, dearest Kathleen, how mine very soul doth pine for thee.
How dare mine cruel sire deign to gaol thee and cleave our love asunder!
Let not thine heart be vexed one whit that I was a party to this dastardly plot!
Night and day I pace these musty castle halls with thee e'er on mine mind.
Thou must have faith that one day I'll rescue thee from thy wretched plight,
That thou shalt be forever mine beautiful princess and I thy faithful knight!
