- Although i am a simple chap.
In Skerry i was born.
The only joys I mean to prize.
Is Pat Conroy's Reighauns.
'Tis there the Shamrock is spreading green.
In the Spring time of the year.
The violet blur and primrose too.
Are growing bright and clear.
Although I roam sometimes from home.
Plantations woods, lawns.
No shade can find so neatly twined.
As those of the Reighauns.

It's splendid cover for true game.
Well known to rich and poor.
When you want a hare you'll get her there.
And that you may be sure.
The woodcock they do hatch and lay.(continues on next page)
