  1. 1
    Though the scenes of my childhood no more I may see.
    Or visit again, the sweet vale of Tullaree.
    Where in youth I had strayed, with my friends, fond and true.
    To their own island Mother.
    Dear Eireann to you.

    Though now far away, in a far distant land.
    Far from the fair scenes, on the mountains so grand.
    To the green hills of Tullig my thoughts often stray
    and the friends and fair fields,
    so far, far away.

    How often in my dreams, to Killiney I go.
    And visit Castlegregory, and famous Coolroe.
    Or listen to the thrushes and linnets, so gay,
    all in green, green Aughacasla
