- (continued from previous page)We're at Feales Bridge, the moon shines bright;
Just four miles from the borough.
If we dont make the grade to night
We'll get there by to-morrow.
The Clydagh, picturesque and grand
We now are passing over
No place like this in any land
So writes the Kerry Rover.
Round Patsy's cross we rolled on high
We're passing Regan's court (now Neffernan's)
Where lords and dukes in days gone by
Did dine, and wine and sport.
Tis Brosna cross, through fog and rain
I see the Chapel spire.
Thanks be to God, I'm home again
For years my hearts desire.
IIIAs through old burgh we did go.
How strange it looked to me.
Where hovels stood, thatched dingy, low,
Sky scrapers now you see.
The streets are wide with asphalt laid
Some new men here and there
And on the curb the names engraved
To guide you everywhere
A street now runs the whole way down
At the back of Billy's Alley(continues on next page)- Informant
