- Kells is the town of my dreams,
It stays in my heads, so it seems,
When I got o bed and cover my head,
It is still there, in fact it gleams.
II
It stands in the middle of Royal Meath,
Where many travellers meet,
The sun shines down with radiant beams
Upon this town of my dreams.

- The hilll of Loyd,
And Kells beside,
Where dwelt St. Columcille,
And Gibbstown bright,
Looks snowy white,
From lovely Foughan hill.
