- (continued from previous page)Beneath you've wandered saint and bard
When harps swelled free in Aileach's Hall;
Defiant, still you stood on guard
While Briton held our land in thrall !
God speed the day when , Ireland all
United stands, from seas to sea,
And I, listening to curlews call,
Shall climb your slopes eventually free!(continues on next page)
- The hills rise steep on either side
To guard it night and day,
And fairies in the moonlight ride,
The old folk used to say,
The cuckoo, there, in spring-time calls,
The thrush and linnet when
The summer sunshine softly falls
On Cregnahorna glen.(continues on next page)
