- Have you ever felt the charm
Or seen beauty's brightest streaks
When the summer sun at morn
Shines upon the purple Reeks.
(II)See the sunshine onward racing
And the shadows flying before
All the hills and vales embracing
Past the lakes of Currachmóre.
(III)As it sweeps across Beancoiragh
Oh how grand it is to see
How it glimmers over Mealis
And goes dancing toward Breanlee.
(IV)Any your glance would follow after
Till it went away too far
But in fancy you could see it
Fill the valleys of Glencar.
(V)Now for many years I've watched it
In the golden summer time
What they missed who have not seen it
I can't mention in a rhyme.(continues on next page)
