    "Templederry My Home."
    (Composed by the late Mr Burke and recited by his nephew Thomas Burke of The Forge, Templederry Thurles)
    Bright home of my childhood
    There's no place like thee
    With thy mountains and wildwood
    Thy vale and thy lee
    No matter wherever I'm doomed for to roam
    I ne'er will forget thee, Templederry my home
    II
    Where the cascades roll down
    The dark mountains between
    And the moonlight sleeps calm
    On the breast of Coneen
    Where the bright river sparkles feathery foam
    Through the Shamrock decked vale of Templederry my home.
    III
    There's a beautiful church, towering high in the vale
    And the Angelus bell calls the faithful to pray
    How sweetly the sound of its high ringing tone
    Seems to say "Heaven bless you, Templederry my home."
