Amhrán Eile
“Glendine, oh lovely calm retreat, The set of rural peace and bliss...”
'Tis lately you thought to find law for our watch
But you made the whole business the hell of a botch.

In gay Ballybrittain they're building a hall
For those who from nonsense to foolishness fall
I'll 'rise' a few bob on next Saturday night
A jarvey to take you all out of my sight.(continues on next page)

Amhrán Eile (continued)
“Now Paddy you're feeble and short is your stay...”
(continued from previous page)Glendine, oh lovely calm retreat
The seal of a rural peace and bliss
Thy bowers are beautiful and sweet
When tinged with Summer's repining bliss

There beauty wandering wreaths a spell
Among the stately wood-crowned heights
And o'er gently sloping dells
