The subjects of the songs are practically identical: Lovers mourning their separation and longing to return to one another. In , the composer and folk-song scholar Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote an arrangement of the song, entitled "The Turtle Dove", for solo baritone later re-arranged for solo and SATB choir.
Fare thee well my own true love And farewell for a while. Ten thousand miles, my own true love, Ten thousand miles or more, And the rocks may melt and the seas may burn, If I should not return. And fare thee well my own true love And farewell for a while. References are transcribed from the Traditional Ballad Index website listed in "External Links" below.

He is instantly captivated by her beautiful voice and striking looks. Although this seems to be nothing more than a far-flung crush, Seamus is astounded when he finds out that she attends the very college at which he is a professor.
Despite their quite obvious age difference, Seamus decides to pursue this singing beauty. Already vulnerable from the tragic loss of her father and the resulting emptiness that she feels, Fiona tries to put on a bold front to keep others at bay from her sorrow. Seamus is undaunted, however, and their romance is a delicate balance between age, wit, love, loss, and public persona.
Tho' It Were Ten Thousand Miles: A Love Story by William H.A. Williams
What will happen to this age-defying romance? What will Seamus and Fiona learn from each other? Upon finishing this novel I found that there were things I strongly liked and disliked about this work. The most interesting thing about the novel is the way the entire story is told.
The story is then presented to the reader as a dual first-person narrative.
To have their story told from both perspectives at the same time was interesting and kept my attention throughout the novel. It also created a good pace which kept the story flowing at all times.

The plethora of poetry, Irish and Scottish folk songs, and lyrical quotes in the novel beautifully added to the story. There are sexual scenes in the book that were a bit uncomfortable to read. Had the age difference been less say 30 years? I think the novel would have worked better. At one point I stopped thinking that she was 20 and made her 30 instead, which made me able to relax with the writing.
