    a local Song
    I
    A short time ago
    Some boys for a walk
    Towards Ballygalane
    Took a stroll and a talk.
    II
    And as they came
    To some five or six trees,
    "My boys", said Jack Tallent
    Tis a swarm of bees.
    III
    They went on to work
    For the honey to keep
    And they woke poor Tom Boland
    Three times from his sleep
