At all Ireland final last year at Killarney,
There were thousands of people from all over the land.
The arrangements were excellent in the beautiful stadium,
There was fine room for all to sit down or to stand.
II
The scenes that I witnessed I'll never forget them,
The myriads of voices all joined in one song.
And when the bands played the National Anthem,
The touching attention of the whole immense throng.
III
The games that were played were certainly gruelling,
A minor and senior for the coveted cup.
From start to finish they were most thrilling,
There was not a dull moment until time was up.
IV
One thing I regretted to see to see the mountains in mourning,
All capped with a mist that excluded from view.
The most perfect scenery this world can bost of,
Each time you will visit you will find something new.(continues on next page)
