   "The Boggera Hills"
   I'm sitting watching the coal fire burning,
   Though my heart and thoughts are far away from here.
   For in fancy pinions are they returning
   To where dear old Cork peaks appear
   But there is something in that shelf before me
   And Oh what rapture my heart if fills
   What a flood of memories it brings o'er me
   Its a sod of turf from the Boggera hills.

   (2)
   Its a sod of turf that with devotion
   I had brought from home as a Souvenior
   Its little I thought that beyond the ocean
   T'would one day cause me to shed a tear
   Would I not stop that tear from flowing
   At the thought of Ireland's valleys and rills
   Or would I fancy those breezes blowing
   Across the dear old Boggera hills.
