- (continued from previous page)The daisies in the meadow wave
In dear old Muckalee4
I see again old Keatingstown
With Acres down below
Where Buxtown and Ballintubber
Joined the dances long ago
The tillers they are working
In the fields of Ballintubber
And the noon-day sun is shining
O'er the hills of Muckalee5
On the road to Castlegannon
Withing a hallowed dell
I see the homestead shining
Round Knockmoylan and Lukeswell
And the mail-train goes a puffing
Trailing smoke o'er glade and lea
Oft' in days of yore I watched it
From the hills of Muckalee6
Rochestown and Ballinacooly and Poulanassey water-fall
The rambling of my boy-hood days
Their memory now recall
In the streams of old Clonassey
Where the trout jumps with glee(continues on next page)- Collector
