Song (continued)
“As Flora the Queen of the morning Awakened her proud lark to sing...”
(continued from previous page)IX
God prosper our Gallant brave tradesman
Allow me a while to inhale
Their workmanship bears admiration
And this is a church of the same
Inside there are grand Pews in Rotation
And a Gallery for organs to play
May they all gain eternal salvation
When called upon the Judgement Day.

"Dunmanway"(Cúmadh tuairim as ceithre fichead bliain ó shoin le sagart óg dárbh ainm Fr. Buckley)
(1)
All ye who hear me I pray draw near me
And kindly cheer me a'while I sing for you
In strains melodious, sweet and sonorious
A song harmonious and most strictly true
My subject is splendid and most it blended
Are themes attended with most high renown
In sweet sounding phrases and poetic mazes
I sing thy praise Dunmanway town-(continues on next page) - Informant
