There is the rath by which we played,
There Castle Termon's battered walls,
And sure those eyes my pretty maid
My memory at once recalls.
That voice I've heard a thousand times -
It cannot be so long ago
Since you and I together crossed
Drumhariff hill to Pettigo.

The primrose clusters kiss my feet,
The daisies nod a "welcome back",
The hawthorn sheds its fragrance sweet,
The sunbeams play along my track,
I feel the blood of other years
Rush through my veins with blissful flow
As I pass o'er with youthful step,
Drumhariff hill to Pettigo.

The way is short from friend to friend -
One quaint old gable lost to view,
Where yonder trees with blossoms bend,
I see another peeping through.
I see the forms of those I love,
Move in the garden to and fro,
With hopeful heart I hasten down
Drumhariff hill to Pettigo.(continues on next page)- Informant
