  1. A Song

    “Tis grand to sit at eventide, and view the Castle grove, 'Tis sweeter far in Summer time, Their shady paths to rove.”

    I
    'Tis grand to sit at eventide, and view the Castle grove,
    'Tis sweeter far in Summer time,
    Their shady paths to rove;
    I've travelled most the south of France,
    The Alps I did explore.
    Of beauty rare they have their share,
    But cannot touch Lismore.
    II
    The Black-water flows so sweetly on.
    To swell the deep, blue sea.
    It's beauteous course for miles around,
    Is hidden by killree.
    Hark! rustling noise, what's that I hear?
    Is it the "aba na Sead."
    A stroll along the lover's walk.
