    The wild flowers bloom upon their graves.
    The tall trees rise above
    Like a sentinel stands the little church
    The guardian of peace and love
    The day is not far diotant
    I hope it may not be
    when they'll have a monumants
    o'er their graves
    In thy Churchyard Fair Ileigh.

    There's a neat little town, it stands in a glen
    In the midst of green mountain valley and dell
    On a sweet rippling river, 'tis lovely to see
    'Tis the home of my childhood,
    Fair Borrisoleigh.
    The meadows all round are lovely
