  1. (continued from previous page)
    At Tulcon the work is entrusted to Strong,
    Who's always most careful that nothing goes wrong.
    We've Creamer and Thompson and Sadlier too,
    McDougal and Bohan, and Caulfield true blue.
    And Kearns and Keville, Booth, Rosemond and more
    There's Thomas and Allen on Lough Rynn's green shore.
    All living in harmony, jolly and free,
    Not careworn and worried, the way you can see me.
    I always have trouble from rotten old debts,
    But they have their lives without any regrets.
    Mr Digges is our Rector, and keeps us in trim,
    With well rendered sermon and sweetly sung hymns.
    The first to assist us when we are in need,
    Regardless of politics, station or creed.
    So now I'll conclude, and wish everyone here
    The height of prosperity in the coming New Year.
    May happiness reign round the shores of Lough Rynn
    No sorrow or sadness or sickness creep in.
