The other night I saw a sight,
With joy my heart did fill,
For to see the illuminations,
Around the "ballast Hill".
2
The noble youth's around this place,
Are noble and generous still.
They celebrated and illuminated,
The grand old "Ballast Hill."
3
The stalwart boys the stood in lines,
As the blaze rose more and more,
'Till its brilliant rays did dance and glaze
On the floods of the "Owen Mor".
4
If our kith and kin on foreign shores
That other countries fill,
Could see the blaze they'd bless for days
The dear old Ballast Hill.(continues on next page)- Collector
