- (continued from previous page)Stack's Mountain, Slievelogher, and wild Crushaleen
Like giants stand out o'er the Vale's emerald sheen,
Entranced I still gazed till my heart beat to see
The halls of my sires by the Vale of Tralee.
*
Hail! Carrigafoyle, where O'Connor the brave
Reigned in his stronghold by Shannon's bright wave
From Finglass mountain torrent along to Asdee,
All owned his proud sway to the Vale of Tralee.
*
Once in Carrig's bright halls the red wine went [?]
And the Clairseach's sweet notes made the echoes [?]
And the Grandness of Spain came afar o'er the sea
To visit O'Connor by the Vale of Tralee!
*
Carrig Castle, a ruin, now frowns o'er the [?]
Where brave Dermod Sugach once reigned in [?]
And Shaun an Fhion, the generous and free
Shared the vintage of Spain by the Vale of Tralee.
*
Ere plunderers came our land to despoil,
The stranger found welcome at Carrigafoyle,
The brave Clan Rory lived generous and free,
From the Feale's noble stream to the Vale of Tralee.
