    I
    I know a small townland.
    Moheraven is its name.
    I live in this townland.
    Which deserves its glorious fame.
    II
    There are eight houses in this townland
    And also one small lake.
    Around the lake are heaps of sand
    Which which it people make.
    III
    Many brisk bachelors dwell right here
    Also many old maids
    About marriage they would not hear
    For they say they need no aids.
    IV
    There is plenty of turfbank in Moheraven
    Also stretches of fine land
    It gets its name from the field of ravens
    But just the same it is very grand
    V
    It stands in a neat little parish
    Well known Annaduff
    The people of Moheraven flourish.
    because they always grow good stuff.
    VI
    There was a wood in this townland
