    Bright home of affection there is no place so fair
    As that sweet little spot of contentment so rare
    Where the weary find rest and the stranger may roam
    Of all places on earth is Clonoulty a Home
    There is lovely Goolds Cross and sweet Carrigeen
    Fair Gurtnaskeha and Marlow so green
    And the church-yard of Clogher where the dead rest alone
    Looking silently down on Clonoulty a Home.
    There our new chapel too stand high in the air
