    And beyond the Atlantic waves those thoughts fly back to me.
    Of the lovely scenes around Lock Four where Leitrim waters flow.

    But alas: those days have vanished and youthful pleasure has gone,
    The cursed emigration scheme has drained them off, one by one,

    From Aughoo Bridge and Riversdale where Leitrim waters flow.
