    The Chapel of Charming Rossmore
    As I strolled out one fine Sunday morning.
    On a landscape all covered with green,
    Conveyed by a sweet little warbler
    In the cool shady groves of Kilmeen
    I stood for a while in meditation
    On a green mossy bank all alone
    Intending to make an oration
    On the beautiful church of sweet Rome
    The Hass bell was melodiously tolling
    Extending its notes to Glandore
    Like hold claps of thunder came rolling
    From the chapel of charming Rossmore
    For a short while these took my station
    And I stood for a while to admire
    At the Cross of everlasting salvation
    Erected on its proud lofty spire.
