  1. My Townland - Gubagraphy (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    With its trees so tall that look down on us all
    And its green fields and flower decked ground [?]
    III
    Fields so green are rarely seen
    As the fields in which we live
    But for all the town and cities around
    Our abode we would not give.
    IV
    Although its small it suits us all
    And we thank our Maker above
    For giving us such a place to live
    A place we can like and love.
    V
    About its occupants I must you tell
    For every one of them I know quite well
    They are always willing their help to give
    But not for that alone we live.
    VI
    Although our town-land is important
    It is not in our Geography
    I can tell you no more about it
    But that we call it Gubagraphy
