    wood and hill
    Sweet scented meadow, bright sparkling rill
    More beautiful scenes you might ne'er wish to see
    For thy vales they are lovely Fair Borrisoleigh.
    Dearest home of my childhood, loved place of my birth
    Your the fairest, the sweetest, the loveliest on earth
    If ever I wander where e'er it might be,
    I will never forget you, Fair Borrisoleigh.
    For the author's name see at the end of the following poem
    Charming Sweet Fishmoyne.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
