    On Limerick's eastern plain it lies
    But 'tis known the country round,
    For the people of the parish are
    For hospitality renouwned.
    St. Michael;s church stands in its pride
    Reminding those who pass
    That here the faithful flock each week
    To hear the holy Mass
    lll
    Beside the church in peace and quiet
    embowered in trees so grand
    Surrounded by green lawns and walks
    A Mercy Convent stand.
    Near - by we see the schools and "Teck"
    Where youth is taught with care
    How long the memories live on
    Of happy days of youth spent there
    lV
    The rural district is as faair
    As the old town it surround,
    For its meadows, fields and hedges
    With verdure green abount
    No wonder Limerick exiles
    And they are not a few
    think with tender memories
    Sweet Cappamore of you.
