    Composed by a teacher who was in Carrigbyrne some years ago.
    I
    Dear Isle of ours, how blessed thou art with scenery so grand
    Thy noble structures day by day are proudest in the land
    Dame Nature's hand neer touched a spot that to me is half so dear
    As Carrigbyrne's enchanting shades the forest of the fair.
    In summer when thy breast is green
    Thou sweet it is to stray
    Along thy groves of laurel sheen and heather covered (bray?)
    Killarney's Lakes are beautiful yet not to me so dear
    As Carrigbyrne's enchanting shades the fairest of the fair
    II
    Thy sons and daughters too are true
