    "Killarney of the West."
    V
    You would travel through all Ireland
    Still you would never see
    A place to equal Furnace
    No matter where it be
    VI
    To look down on the Shannon
    Which enchants this townland
    And see its rippling waters
    Flow down below the land
    VII
    And see reflected in its surface
    The trees that proudly grow
    Along the shores of Furnace
    Where the River Shannon Flows.
