    Dooneen - happy haunts of the angler
    The Glebe for the grey hound or gun
    Drishane where the wild rose or rambler
    Now shelters each holy souled nun
    Far away from those scenes I oft ponder
    And when sleep claims my senses I dream
    Of one whom with me loved to wander
    Ere bidding farewell to Dooneen.
    V
    In these dreams I oft go to the gateway
    Where the road o'er the railway do run
    It was there we'd rehearse every hearsay
    That oft provoked laughter and fun
    But ; for, me all these bright days are over
    Never more with my old pals I'm seen
    Content with the faith of a rover
    I must die far away from Dooneen.
