  1. The scenes I have roamed when a boy
    As I stand on the top of my own native hearth
    So gaze on the scenes I once roamed
    The haunts of the wild birds and their reproduction
    Which with pride I often brought home
    There stands lean na gobar which nature has laid
    The beach with the castle near by
    And old ceímin Buide which stands boldly or'e the scene
    I have roamed when a boy
