   (IV
   As we drove nearing it was not most cheering
   To see the lake beneath the rook.
   Of that Hotel we must speak well
   That stands land by St Kevin's rock.)

   IV
   As we drove nearing it was not most cheering
   To see the lake beneath the rook.
   And pine distills from far off hills
   All flowing into Glendalough.

   Chorus
   V
   In pink and buff we needed Lugduff.
   All in high style up to the Knock
   Of that Hotel we must speak well
   That stands hard by St Kevin's Rock.

   Chorus
   VI
   From that Hotel, we then thought well
   To go and view each silvery rock
   And pine distills from flowery hills
   All flowing into Glendalough.

   Chorus
   VII
   From cliffs and vales our music strains
   Went softly to the highest rock
   Playing each high time, a tune well known
   The Minoring[?] bogs of Glendalough.
