- thought that breaks my heart,
When I think of the hurling days and the dance on Keepers summit brown,
And the day I fished the Torrent hole near Dear old Newport Town.
Adieu, Adieu, sweet Jurtionanoe, where I often chased the hare,
Through Caher Hills and Carroweal Cully's mountain bare,
Sweet Clare Glens, her flowery dells where I oft strolled up and down,
Must I leave those scenes and the girl I love, in Dear old Newport Town
How lonely is the pigeons coo and sad the Blackbird's lay,
How loud and high the thrushes cry on the long bright Summer's day,
Then I'll sit down and cry my fill when the flood comes rolling down
