    In the Shades of Bellview (contd)
    At the cross below the forge
    We spied our true love's coffin
    And they carrying it o'er the road
    How dark I thought the vision
    As her father came in view
    I then had to quit, down by the smith
    And leave loved Mary in Bellview.
    The above song was composed by Joe Kelly, Eyrecourt in memory of a touching romance of his early days. He is still living in Eyrecourt and is a native of the place.
