    Millstreet, quaint and quiet village
    Nestling mid your emerald hills
    Though I see you but in memory
    How my heart with rapture thrills
    Gentle stream & busy mill-wheel
    Smile beneath the summer sky
    Church & convent calm & peaceful
    Welcome still the passer by.
    Friends the nearest, friends the dearest
    I can see them now at will
    And the sunshine of their kindness
    Is abiding with me still
    In the "Chapel Yard" are lying
    Many kin now gone for aye,
    And new faith came stealing o'er me
    As I knelt beside their clay.
    Something in the air of Ireland
    Something in her churchyard green,
    Some strange beauty fills the vision
    In no other land is seen.
    It may be the faith of ages
    Sweeping downward through the years,
    It may be that pearl so priceless
    Shining through a nation's tears
    For where'er I went in Ireland
