    “In Summer time in Flora's prime ¶ When our people mount its peak.”

    From the same source I have got some songs composed by local poets. The following is part of a song " BUN CIAMALTHA VALE " by an uneducated boy named O'Brien who emigrated

    In Summer time in Flora's prime
    When our people mount its peak
    Each lass and sire in grand attire
    For berries there go seek
    'Tis there our hill-side peasantry
    Receive a wholesome gale
    While Sol displays her glittering rays
    O'er Bun Kiamaltha vale
    Of I refer to days of yore
    When Sarsfield and his men
    Did promenade with pike and blade
    Through this old verdant glen
    His words when leaving Limerick
    Were " Ballyneety Hail "
    Through Killaloe, Glenculloo
    And Bun Kiamaltha vale"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
