1. An Old Song - Carbally Hill

   “There is a dear little spot I've loved since a child,”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   (I)
   There is a dear little spot I've loved since a child,
   Though the old folks around it are few,
   If you gaze on its waters as they ebb and flow,
   The scenery is splended to view.
   Just stand on the Head with its pillars so fine
   They command a broad view of the bay
   Where the seagulls do soar o'er the rock beaten surf
   And their nests are secure at Banglay.
   There's the Burrow and strand with its mountains of sand
   It's most picturesque to behold
   Likewise Sauleen tide as it onward do glide
   That too a sad tale could unfold.
   (II)
   There's the metalman too with his finger outstretched
   As a token for ships to beware
   Where many a mariner was lured to his doom
   For the breakers no mercy do share.
   There's Carbally hill with its verdure so green
   And in school days so much loved by all,
   The school house close by where time quicky did fly
   As we answered our names at roll call
   The rooks in the wood some hundred did caw
   What a crime it would be if you killed just one of their flock
   You would be sent to quad by the Earl that ruled Summerville.
