    It has no equal or parallel,
    Its exquisite splendour majestic grandour
    And the thrilling clangour of Drumreilly Bell.
    V
    It would take a Homer, or a man of love,
    Or the great Tom Moore its praise to tell,
    Of the sounds melodious, soft and harmonious
    Wafted so gloriously from Drumreilly Bell.
    VI
    Our saintly Priest, Father Pat Gilchriest,
    Pure patriotism does this bosom swell,
    May he long prosper the Faith to foster,
    And preach the Gospel near Drumreilly Bell.
