    In the valley at the bottom of the old Slievemore.
    Slievemore, Slievemore, you are standing there,
    With your head so high and your side so bare,
    Rising sublime from the dark blue sea,
    An image and a type of Eternity.
    This song was composed about sixty years ago by:
    -Rev. Edward Lowe.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
