    to gaze
    All around Cabadoey I would spend all my days
    Before I conclude I will explain her name
    Because that I love her that beautiful dame
    One half of yon mountain covered over with snow
    Two thirds of yon valley where the lilies doth grow
    One fourth of Mount City while sailing the seas
    Her name I will tell to the boys of the Braes.
    Fare you well Cabadoey that place of renown
    Where mirth and diversion were always there found.
    Where the youngsters each evening together do roam
    I am sorry to leave them, and depart from my home.
