  1. The Rose of Aughnabroon

    Share Share Post
    There is a lovely flower of attractive power
    Within our parish grows
    Many a one has taken a tour
    To view that lovely rose.
    It ne'er decays through Winter days
    It's always found in bloom
    That lovely flower of Feddans' lower
    Sweet Rose of Aughnabroon.
    Some with their guns and silky dogs
    Go hunting as it were
    They search along those gloomy bogs
    To hunt the sporting hare
    While others dwell down at the well
    On Sunday afternoon
    To watch the dell of that fair belle
    Sweet Rose of Aughnabroon.
    Some prefer the darkest night
    Their sight it must be sharp
    While others watch the pale moon rise
    Or the rising of the lark
    It's all in vain they ne'er shall gain
