  1. There's a spot in our (-) of sweet sylvan beauty
    Far out in the north at at the fringe of the sea;
    Each heather-clad mountain and green grassy meadows
    Is dearer than all else in Erin to me.
    Away in the distant Slieve Sneact proudly rises.
    To catch the first gleam of the sun's golden light.
    And gently each beam casts its soft light of beauty
    Upon the white brow of the fair queen of might.
