    (continued from previous page)
    On Shannons banks for ever
    My fondest thoughts shall be.
    V
    And yet when I am roaming
    Beneath a foreign sky,
    Ill think of old companions
    When flowing cups are nigh,
    And by the Shannon side,
    When such an hour they-
    Then ‘round their cheering glasses
    They may remember.

    “On Shannons banks for ever”

    Oh lovely Castleconnell
    Bright gem of Erin's shore
    Oh place of scenic beauty
    Sweet village I adore
    With the lordly Shannon flowing
    Where oft in childhoods days
    I played along its pleasant banks
    Oh watched its snow white spray
