A Song - Farewell to Boyle (continued)
“Farewell to Boyle, to lakes, and all that span my native town,”
(continued from previous page)blooms by Patrick's well.(II)
Farewell, Lough Gara, many a day I wandered by thy shore
To see the boatmen set a sail, and hear they waters roar.
I praise thee in my Irish heart, thy billows lone and clear
And on thy banks there yet remains a name for Ireland dear.
Ere chiefs of old neath green and gold, led clansmen to the fight
And gave deep graves to foreign knaves who dared dispute their rights
To rule, to live, to make and give our fathers on the soil
Pure Irish laws within our cause "Beannacht leath" past days in Boyle.(III)
Farewell, dear ruined Abbey thy pride of days gone by
Thy grand majestic form once proud erect and high.
Now stand thy, lofty gables still battling with the years(continues on next page)
