A Song
“It is years ago, dear Erin”
It is years ago, dear Erin
since I took a fond adieu
Your valleys green and mountains fair
and ships of azure blue
Many a loss and many a cross
I had to undergo
Since first I saw old Nephin hill
on the plains of sweet Mayo.Well I can remember the grove of Carrowkeel
And all around old Nephin hill
from Thristia to the Deel
It is now I think and often
wonder if there be
One dear old friend among the rest
that would still remember me.(continues on next page)- Collector
