  1. [1]
    As I stood on Carraig - mo - Cléir,
    And gazed along that vale,
    With its golden coloured copious,
    And emerald - tinted dale.
    Such various scenes of beauty,
    My eyes have ne'er looked on,
    As those which I have met with
    At the foot of Sliabh - na - mban
    [2]
    The sun with lustrous softness
    'Shone on the evening air,
    Pouring its lightning floods
    Along that valley fair.
    Its rays like golden arrows
    Their rapid flight winged on,
    And spread a sparkling lustre
    Oer the breast of Sliabh - na - mban.
