- GarryGlassIf along the mountain's slopes you pass,
When the sun shines bright on Garryglass
When the Colleens trip trip to early mass,
From the verdant hills of Garryglass,The Cuckoo's note it sounds so sweet
From Ballahane its old retreat, -
Where in the merry month of June,
When all the roses are in bloom,
From groves & woods the thrushes sing
And fairies dance around the ring.Where the turf is out up from the clay
To burn so bright another day,
And cows along to pastures roam, -
When their snow white milk is left at home,
To feed so fresh & green with grass
On the fertile lands of Garryglass.Both hare and rabbit there abide
And grouse upon the mountain hide.
And sportsmen come of every class,
To shoot the game on Garryglass(continues on next page)
