    I
    Where the grey Calshawly glides,
    And th bashful "Crickeen" hides,
    There's my heart for aye abides
    My Native Fethard.
    II
    Those grand old walls that silent stand.
    To mark dark ere in our land,
    Crumbling not to Cromwell's hand -
    Staunch walls of Fethard.
    III
    Castles shaggy tall and gaunt,
    Scenes that childish footsteps daunt,
    Pitch-black aisles which ogres haunt,
    My weird old Fethard.
