  1. A Song (continued)

    One morning in December just at the break of day ¶ I took out my push bicycle and to Kilkeedy made my way

    (continued from previous page)
    III
    The island lake then I passed by near the village of Crusheen.
    A more romantic scenery my eyes had never seen,
    With its sacret dells and wooded Glens where St. Cronan used to roam.
    It's a place bliss and happiness like the glens of Derrywen.
    IV
    I viewed each spot of scenery round the village of Crusheen
    From Garlie hill to Butter town and that beauty spot Cloonen
    My mind was filled with rapture as I cycled all alone
    Until I came to Tubber village beside yon Derryowen.
