    Where the river runs past
    By a steep rocky side
    To mingle at last
    With the oncoming tide.
    As brightly they shimmer
    The cliffs echo far
    The joy of the swimmer
    At Carrig-a-var
    And the brown tousled seaweed
    The rocks that entwine
    Floats leeward and seaward
    When tossed in the brine.

    Through bushes and brambles
    And Time's weary test
    A grey wall still rambles
    Way over the crest.
    How vivid each boulder
    And brier-tangled crag
    The Park's grassy shoulder
    And base for the flag.
    A breeze gently stirs
