    1.
    Oh Hollyford sweet Hollyford what beauty round thee cling.
    Here fairy Cupid finds a home and life indeed no sting.
    I have tasted sweets of city life ‘mong men of many hue.
    But sad the day when I must say sweet Hollyford adieu.

    Oh Hollyford when from thee gone to me thou shall still be dear.
    And every year that journeys on shall find me more sincere.
    Each dream, each thought, each pulse of mine, each every, every word.
    Shall be of thee sweet spot divine, my own loved Hollyford.
    Composed by M.D. Lysaght.
    Postmaster. Hollyford.
