- (I)Rapt in meditation one evening lately
A sweet vibration, on my senses fell,
Deep notes enchanting soft and entrancing,
Reverberating from Drumreilly Bell.
(II)Every morning you'll hear it warning
Sounding most charming o'er hill and dell,
An in the evening like peals from Heaven
Pours forth the knelling of Drumreilly Bell.
(III)You can hear it pealing at Augnasheelin
And from thence across unto Newtowngore,
From Ben Brack's heights down to Garadice
And around the borders of Ballinamore.
(IV)Its sweet vibration throughout this nation,
It has no equal or parallel,
Its exquisite splendour and majestic grandeur
And the thrilling clangour of Drumreilly Bell.
(V)It would take a Homer or a man of love, or
The great Tom Moore its praise to tell,
Of the sounds melodious, soft and harmonious,
Wafted so glorious from Drumreilly Bell.(continues on next page)- Collector
