    And on each Garland Sunday great pleasure there does be.
    All around this lovely hill of ours are the youngsters gay and free.
    They wearied and afflicted doth throw aside their grief.
    And listen to the pleasure, where they are sure to find relief.

    But now alas! I must away, Oh! from that lovely scene.
    And hasten to my home-stead fair all in the valleys green.
    And though I may be far away Keash Corran I'll adore.
    I love that hill that far famed hill now and for ever more.
