- Oh Toher stream, Oh Toher stream,
I often dream of thee,
And of the days when by your banks,
I wandered young and free.
Through pleasures flowery maize,
I never shall forget the bliss I felt
in those days.

Often on a Summer's day upon your banks I stood,
With a heart as bounding as the skiffs
That danced along the flood.
But now my youthful days are over

There stands the castle tall and gay
grey walls and ivy clod.
The lonely river flows below adjoining the Mulchair
The Toher stream fair thee well
may the sun beam on your smile.(continues on next page)
