   3.
   In rugged grandeur stands the rock majestic and sublime,
   Alike defying wind and flood,
   With all the wreck of time,
   But whether parched by summer's sun
   Or crowned with winter's snow,
   I love these falls these rare old Falls,
   Where fresh the breezes blow.
   4.
   Let others sing about the ring,
   Famed Faughart and Seeall,
   While Loughanlea might still repay,
   The traveller for a call,
   The Moggie's Leap has features bold,
   But nothing that can show,
   With Pulty Falls these rare old Falls,
   Where fresh the breezes blow.
   5.
   Roll on dear Pulty dash and jump,
   There's music in your roar,
   While high above your foaming crest,
   The feathered songsters soar,
   Still may the light young hearts repair,
   Neath Sol's declining glow,
   To see these falls these rare old Falls,
   Where fresh the breezes blow.
