Where the beautiful church tower goes high in the air,
And the Angelus Bell called the faithful to prayer.
And the beautiful sound of each beautiful tone,
Seemed to say Heaven bless you, Kilcommon my Home.III
But there is one spot that is dearer than all,
And that is enclosed by our new chapel wall,
T'was often I knelt there in silence and prayer,
O'er the grave where our brave Fr. Healan was laid.IV
'Twas he had the heart to dare and to do,
The star of our priesthood so noble and true,
How cheerful he died to give Erin her own
On the bright sunny side of Kilcommon my Home.V
Then let us all hope until liberty smile,
And let us all be for the Emerald Isle,
Till his own native flag o'er his grave shall be flown,
And a monument raised in Kilcommon my Home.
