- It is with deep affection those lines I'll try to pen.
In memory of my childhood days when I was scarcely ten.
I always loved to ramble to pluck the berry and the slow,
Along the daisy sloped canal,
Where Leitrim Waters Flow.
Above its rippling waters, here stands fair Riversdale,
Its mansion house in splendour,
Its woods and flowery vale.
And its landscape clear each day appear.
As the summer sin sinks low
And the large beech trees move with the breeze,
Where Leitrim Waters Flow.
Here stands the bridge of Aughoo a grim and stately pile
Where tourists sit and lovers meet and travellers rest a while.(continues on next page)
