When Tolls the Chapel Bell.
The summer sun is climbing
O'er the brow of Slievenamon:
How calm and beautiful the scene
His morning beams fall on!

And sparkling dewy dale
Bedeck the green and purple slopes
As with a bridal veil.The verdant fields and golden grain,

And craiking of machines,
With swish of scythe, and anvil clink,
Enliven all the scene.But fairer far than sunlit mist,(continues on next page)
