Song (continued)
“Farewell my native Castelgal”
(continued from previous page)touch the water's roar.
"It stands on a perpendicular height some sixty feet or more
"The wild sea fowl brings out where young oties place is so remote when danger presses near at hand Where all can go after
"There is a new school room thats lately built a credit to the town.
Erection of this building cost about a hundred pounds. It stands on level foundation at the foot of yon green hill. Where oft on on Summer calmest evening some pleasure would fulfill.
It also has a lovely grove where birds do sweetly sing
The Blackbird whistle loud
"So I must leave my native land fore me it was allowed.
This was composed by Dan Killerlean
