    painting Knocklong,
    And they there set the jewel of Ireland
    there are parts I could name,
    In the pencil of fame,
    Shed a hallow of scenes more romant
    From Liffey's dark way,
    To where Lee finds his grave,
    In the bosom of mighty Atlantic,
    We read in romance of scenes to entrance,
    Where cailins' eyes are as bewitching
    Adornasses being there solemly swear,
    That his calest heart soon usuld
    want stitching.
    For o' their the fairest in Ireland
    The truth I back out against Ireland,
    That its virtues cailín is as grand
    as the Queen,

    Knocklong youre the jewel of Ireland
    Call; fill high a bowl of what florish
    the soul of stuff which
    They mix here in Ireland,
    And my toast as my song will be
    here to
    Knocklong the glory and jewel
