- The Island of Cape Clear
Proud England boasts of her cities long
And her famous sea-port towns
The French-Man thinks, that Paris is
Admired by the world all round
But its off the coast of Ireland
There's a spot, to me most dear
I love it too, with all my heart
Its the Island of Cape Clear
(2)In bygone days
It was fine to gaze
All out upon the sea
When all those ship comerce
Were not propelled by steam
The Summer's sun is sinking now
Not a ripple do appear
And ships from every nation
Lay all around Cape Clear
The Chinese junk and the Turkish craft
And the Austrian too are there
A yankee ship with her colours flying
For a pilate do appear
She is standing in with her mainsail clued
For a pilate from Cape Clear(continues on next page)
