    II. Fair is the isle-this dear child of the ocean -
    Nurtured with more than a mother's devotion;
    For see - in what rich robes has nature arrayed her,
    From the waves of the West to the cliffs of Ben Edar,
    By Glengariff's lone islets - Lough Lene's fairy water,
    So lovely was each, that then matchless I thought her;
    But I feel as I stray through each sweet-scented alley,
    less wild but more fair is this soft, verdant, valley!
    Sweetest of vales is the vale of Shanganagh!
    Greenest of vales is the vale of Shanganagh!
    No wide - spreading prairie - no Indian's savannah!
