    I viewed the scenery around Belleek
    The pottery and the "fall".
    The ancient battery on the hill
    Stands sentry over all;
    Clyhore, your lovely cottages, It is no land of slaves,
    Away to the north is moors of cliff
    and Teetunney of the graves.
    Ednagor, by Erin's Banks, the home of honest toil
    This place is ever noted as the townland of the Boyles.
    Upon the top of Rowantree hill you have a splendid view
    Of the places I have mentioned and lovely Templenew.
