   The cliffs and the headland
   Now rise into view
   The vale and the woodland
   Of emerald hue.
   The pathways of bloom
   And the tall shady trees
   In the wafted perfume
   Of a song-laden breeze.
   Each high-wooded slope
   Whispers down to the sea
   And the tow'ring cliffs ope
   As it sparkles in glee.
   O'er the silvery sand
   Toward a valley of green
   From the sentinel stand
   Of the rugged 'Plankeen;.

   My fancy would find
   Every cavern and rock
   The pathways that wind
   To the Park and the Knock.
