  1. (continued from previous page)
    And the summer bloom is height'ning
    The rare beauties of Glenstall
    And the warblers of the wildwood
    Pour sweet music in my ear
    Are the hills that girt my childhood
    Lost to mem'ry or less dear.

    By the crooning Mulkear river
    In the gloaming as I roam
    With a bosom yearning ever
    For the friends & scenes of home
    And the teardrop vainly swelling
    As I southward bend my gaze
    On the star that 'lumed my dwelling
    In my childhood's happy days.
    We the Irish far more stylish & sure our Queen
    If she has a passion for first fashion 'tis in Killeen
