    Full many a time I've past there in your cool sequestered shade
    To watch the flickering shadows in the twilight slowly fade
    Then as the night descended the woodcock on the wing
    With noisy flight proclaimed his right through the woodlands of Lough Ryan

    No matter where I wander in this vale of many tears
    I shall always live in memory with the passing of the years
    I never can forget you till deaths cold icy sting
    Shall never let me wander more through the woodlands of Lough Rynn.
