  1. Song (continued)

    One evening as yon towering

    (continued from previous page)
    once more.
    Round the shadows of Sweet Drumgoon.
    IV
    Farewell lake and glade and bower and green hills far away
    No more we'll hear the hunter's horn at dawn or close of day.
    But while lifes blood runs through my veins til death around me gloom
    My constant thoughts will 'eer fly back to the Shades of Sweet Drumgoon.
    END.
