    And there's not in Innis Fail
    A more beauteous spot that we have got
    In Clashganny's flowery Vale
    There's Mr Hughes' es residence
    Hour picturesques it stands
    Admidot a bower of shrubs and flowers
    The fairest in the land
    Its beauty is enchanting
    And its master without Fail
    He gives employ to men and boy
    In Sweet Clashganny's Vale

    The following song was composed by her about 1920 or 1921
    Britania boasts her Union Jack
    Waves o'er poor Ireland still
    But she may charge her guns and shoot her sons
    But cannot break their will
    And execute her noble youth
    As Cromwell did of old
    But we'll stand beside our banner, boys,
