    The hills and valleys there.
    "God save all there" I'd like to say
    Across some old half-door
    "God save you kindly sir" I'd here
    In Erin's isle once more
    On Knockshegowna's slope
    I'd sit and ponder fairy lore
    I's listen for the curlew's cry
    Across some lonesome moor
    Lisbriens wood I'd see again
    And distant Sohwell [?] Hall
    The windy gap, its twilight dance
    Has still for me its call.
    At fairy well I'd drink again
    Where oft I drank before
    Content I'd be if I could see
    Fair Ormonds plain once more
    I'd wander down through Quakerstown
    'Twas once Kilconahanmore
    Kilmurry's ruined shrive I'd view
    And live my childhood o'er [?]
