    (continued from previous page)
    In dark Bunavilla one evening
    I pondered,
    The sun had just set in the far distant west,
    I'll think of the days when in Leena I wandered,
    And down by its brays
    I often did rest.
    In Moat and in Rakestreet,
    In Moneymore and Bengeary,
    And sweet Cloonamine there
    are hearts that I love.
    In Ballycastle so distant
    I nee'r could be weary
    While down by the sea
    with my loved ones did roam.
