  1. (continued from previous page)
    Oh! now she's encircled and
    times ebbing fast
    On hillside and heather she's
    looking her last.
    One last look at Caileach - one
    look at Slieveroe
    Where in life's vim and vigour
    she dashed to and fro.
    Farewell to the hills where she
    romped and she roved. To the dark sheltered valleys
    and fields that she loved
    Farewell to all pleasure, farewell to all care
    And farewell Oh' farewell to the
    gallant Leck hare
