  1. "Lough Key"
    There's many an Isle in dear Lough Key,
    With many a garden blooming,
    Where oft I passed the Summer day
    Till twilight hours were glooming
    No more shall evenings yellow glow
    Among those ruins find me
    Far from these dear scenes I go
    But leave my heart behind me
    Fare thee well my native dell
    Though far away I wander
    With thee my thoughts shall ever dwell
    In absence only fonder.
    Composed by Lizzie Connolly, Cryanstown, Knockvicar Boyle. 1936.
