- Let Wordsworth sing of Duddon's stream,
And Southey of Lodore,
In verses sweet, they ne'er compete,
With our sweet Shannon shore.Our purling rills and mist-robed hills,
With many a bank and brae;
There's not the like from Tweed to Forth,
From Solway to the Tay.From Quantochs and the Mendip range
You mark a prospect fair,
But I'd rather see old Shannon glide
By the cliffs and banks of Clare.Through fields so green and each boreen,
Where the yellow gorse doth blow,
And far and wide stems on the tide,
In grand and ceaseless flow.(continues on next page)
