    “From a place called Askeaton so charming to see.”

    I
    From a place called Askeaton so charming to see.
    Come greetings from home, fond greetings to me.
    How kind are those word wishing comfort and meal
    That come from my home by the Sweet River Deal
    II
    There a beautiful castle and abbey do stand
    There structure as fine as is seen in our land.
    Unfettered untangled my thoughts often steal
    To those beautiful ruins by the Sweet River Deal
