    A Song - Where the Leitrim Waters Flow
    Where the Leitrim waters flow.
    I
    It is with deep affection, these lines
    I try to pen.
    In memory of my childhood days,
    when I was scarcely ten.
    I used to love to ramble, to pick
    the berry and slow.
    Along the daisy sloped canal, where
    Leitrim waters flow.
    II
    Above it's rippling waters,
    There stands old Riversdale,
    It's mansion, now, it's ruins, it's wood.
    and flowery vales.
    It's landscape clear, each day appears.
    As the golden sun does glow.
    And the large beach trees move with
    the breeze.
    Where Leitrim's waters flow.
    III
    There stands the bridge of Aughue.
