    By thy fields for ever green;
    Never hardship strife or hunger
    In thy happy homes be seen.
    May thy sons be blest and prosperous
    All they daughters blithe and gay
    So they minstrel's prayer unceasing
    An his wanderings far away.
    This song was composed by Rev. J. Keegan, Cloone. He was born in Cloone; but he was reared in Leganomer.
