    “Oh Coolkelure, sweet Coolkelure the home of beauty rare”

    Share Share Post
    I
    Oh Coolkelure, sweet Coolkelure
    The home of beauty rare,
    Shall I forget your vale so pure
    For scenery less fair?
    No! Perish such unworthy theme.
    Enraptured as a wooer,
    Was I mid nature's fairest dream
    The hills of Coolkelure.
    II
    With mountain sentries hid in clouds
    A valley ranged around,
    Along the sides are pretty woods,
    Where evergreens abound.
    No spot in all the world wide
    Can equal it, I'm sure.
    That's why fond memories abide
    With thee, sweet Coolkelure.
    III
    The Shuldham's ancestral home,
    Their glory once & pride,
    The landlords who would never roam
    From Owen's lovely side
    The proud house and & each pretty grove
    Oh may they time endure,
    To beautify the land I love
    Romantic Coolkelure.
