  1. An Old Song - Rockchapel on the Feale

    Share Share Post
    I love to dream of my native place, and think of it with pride.
    Where I first saw the light of day in a cot by the roadside.
    'Twas there my youthful days were spent, so joyous, young, and free.
    And now an exile far away from Ireland dear, and thee.
    O, Time, why do you hurry so, and leave us but the past.
    While life remains, though far away, fond memories shall last.
    Of all the places I have seen, none to me appeal.
    Like the love I have for my native place Rockchapel - on - the Feale
