To build another abbey fair, like their own Melleray,
Afar, near where the Brosna flows in beauty mid the flowers,
That deck the plains that lie around Roscrea's great ancient towers.

Before a strange banner waves within our Irish Seas,
And nought but sweet toned Galic rose in freedom to the breeze.(continues on next page)
