    Its bells soft vibration a - calling the faithful
    To join in the praise of the heavenly band.

    (VI)
    Dear home of my fathers in wild vivid dreaming,
    I'll e'er see thy mountains and blue shimmering shore
    Although I be far from thy kindly seclusion,
    Yet in dreams I'll be with the Clonmany, Asthore!
    Each spot that I love to behold
    Refilling my heart with a joy that is endess
    As I gaze on the scenes that fond memories unfold
