So fair sequestered valley,
How oft at evening tide
I have wandered through thy lonely dells,
Sweet Anner stream beside.
Whilst the gloomy shades of evening
In a Herculean throng
Start up their yellow swards
On the breast of Sliab - na - mban.
[4]
O how I love to linger
"neath that lone sky serene,
Or leave me when weary
Amid the bowers and colours green.
For memory's dearest ties
Twine around that vale of song,
And there are hearts in exile
Far away from Sliab - na - mban.
[5]
Oh saddening recollections
Man that thrice lovely scene,
Or tell of Sunday ties,
Because we love the green.
Likewise of wailing mothers,
Poor Erins injured wrong,
And there are hopes for Ireland
At the foot of Sliab - na - mban.(continues on next page)- Collector
