- I
Never more shall I see thee dark Poul an Eas
Shall I behold "or hear thy flood.
For I love banks no more I'll pass
Or wander by Killeaney woods.
II
It was there the cowslips were first seen
To deck those sheltered banks so green
For thy loved banks no more I'll pass
Or wander by Killeaney's woods
III
Turn then to where my youth was spent
Long beside my mative home where Saxon rents and Saxon laws
Compelled us here from there to roa?
But if her sons unitedwere
There need not be an excile here
For grave should be the grabbers end
And - Poul an eas if three miles east of Bally?
