I greet you proud Iveleary's Sons and daughters fair and true,
We'll assemble in the South-End Club Old friendships to renew.
This annual opportunity I loath to let it pass,
Till I recite a tale to-night Of my Inchigeela lass.

Eveleary! oh how sweet thy name Rings on the exiles ears,
Tho' I've not seen your heath clad hills For five and twenty years.
Where I first met my hearts delight On Sunday morn at Mass,
As I knelt in prayer at the Chapel With my Inchigeela lass.
111
She was modest as the cooing dove And gentle as the fawn,
That leaps o'er Desmonds storied heights Or the highlands of Goughane.
No godess fair or Grecian heir In beauty could surpass,
That winsome rogue my Maureen ogue My Inchigeela lass.(continues on next page)
