(Brevity IS the soul of wit.) Here ya go.

Labrador Rose

I ventured a walk one early May morning,
With the dew on the ground, as the sunshine it beamed;
I spied a wild rose growing there on the mountain,
My heart skipped a beat for this vision I seen.

In the flower I saw the face of my darling,
The petals, her hair and the perfume, her smile;
The stem of the rose was her body so slender,
As it reached out for life in the rich mountain soil.

Oh, Labrador Rose, you're the rarest of flowers,
You blossom and grow by the cold northern stream;
For the rest of my life I will stay here beside you,
Oh, Labrador Rose, you are one living dream.

Each morning I walk by the dew in the sunshine,
To be with my flower that grows on the moor;
There's nothing around can compare with her beauty,
Oh, flower, so rare, you'll be mine evermore.

Oh, Labrador Rose, you're the rarest of flowers,
You blossom and grow by the cold northern stream;
For the rest of my life I will stay here beside you,
Oh, Labrador Rose, you are one living dream.

My heart skipped a beat for this vision I seen.

An Irishman might say that (particularly if a Dub) - but would a Labrador.... (What do you call a denizen of there?)? Maybe "... for this vision I'd seen".
