    And often by the close of day
    I roam by Gowna's sides
    Or stand upon the Lady's road
    And gaze back far and wide
    Oe'r bog and moor, and gorgeous plains
    Which to my memory clung
    While gazing on those lovely scenes
    Fair Sylvan Cornadrum

    Farewell loved scenes of childhood's days
    Farewell my comrades gay
    May freedom's sunshine soon illume
    You shortly with its ray
    So may my wish be realized
    Which to my memory clung
    While gazing on those lovely scenes
    Fair Sylvan Cornadrum
