  1. 1
    On the hills of Kilmurry where often my childhood
    I spent my young days with a heart free from care.
    And gathered the fruits from the vines in the wild wood
    And plucked the wild roses perfuming the air
    And often at evenings when homeward returning
    I watched the sun shedding it light o'er the plains
    O' what delight in my young heart was burning
    For I wished in Kilmurry I had always remained.
