    The tower is worth a visit
    'Twill please you to the core
    Amid its true (?) from there you view
    The scenes around Lismore

    But hark what rustling noise I hear?
    It is the Owann a'She-Ad ( Abha-na-Séad )
    A stroll along the Lover Walk
    Should make a sad heart glad
    To see those rustling waters, the rocks come tumbling o'er
    No scene you'll meet can ere compete
    With the scenes around Lismore

    The scenes remain but where are they
    The friends of Boyhood years
    With whom I played before I knew
    This world of bitter tears
    Yes some are gone to foreign lands
    And some to Heavens Bright Shore
    And here, Och ' I view alone
    The scenes around Lismore
