    (continued from previous page)
    While silvery moon shines bright o'er
    Cloone and lone Drumshanbo Hill,
    5. Wild flowerets gay crown Kiltifea,
    Dear Tooma and Cankeel --
    Behold with awe that wonderous spa
    All human illsq to heel
    Aughnaglace I fondly trace the ford
    And Murphy's Mill
    Well I recall those features all
    Around Drumshanbo Hill.
    6. Mid holy ground the fonts abound
    Where nightly faries sing
    Entrancing themes to haunt our
    Dreams around Kilkenny's spring
    Mid hawthorn lanes and ripening
    Grains, the birds their music thrill
    In apple groves where love-light roves
    Around Drumshanbo Hill.
