    I
    Rapt in meditation one evening lately
    A sweet vibration on my senses fell.
    Deep notes enchanting soft and entrancing
    Reverberating from Drumreilly Bell.
    II
    Every morning you'll hear its warning
    Sounding most charming over hill and dell,
    and in the evening like peals from Heaven
    Poursforth the knelling of Drumreilly Bell.
    III
    You can hear it pealing at Augnasheelin
    And from thence across unto Newtowngore,
    From Ben Bracks heights down to Garadice,
    And around the borders of Ballinamore.
