  1. (continued from previous page)
    There yonder lies Bunratty's towers;
    There Labasheeda's bay;
    On every isle some saintly pile
    Once famed in sacred lay.
    Thus graceful bending, to ocean wending
    To take her toil-worn rest,
    Then with the sun, her day's work done,
    Sinks to the golden West.
    May strife thus end, as these waters blend,
    In union blessed from above;
    Come happier days and peaceful ways
    To the island of our love.
