    “Come all ye loyal Irishmen don't be least dismayed about this lovely view”

    Come all ye loyal Irishmen
    Don't be least dismayed
    About this lovely river
    That passes through Rosmead
    Ned Leonard wert to sink it
    And it would not do at all
    For he never left the deoreen on the lovely waterfall.
    For a sluice went in at Connells
    And another at Cruck gloss.
    They sunk and sludged the river
    until they came to the old pass.
    For Clogers walked and pickers talked
    And builder done at all. For he left the rabbits popping on the lovely waterfall.
