  2. The Slieve Bloom Mountains

    Share Share Post
    The Slieve Bloom Mts are rare to be seen. Above all other mountains it bears a great name. For a fishing and a fowling and a hunting also, and the finest of fruit on those mountains do grow.
    On the top of this mountain a fair castle does stand. 'Tis embroidered all over from the top to the land. With torches in porches and the lamp shining bright. 'Tis a signal for sailors on a dark rainy night.
    At the foot of this mountain the main ocean does flow.
    And ships from the West Indies to Derry do go.
    With the red flags a flying and the firing of guns,
    With the sweetest of music and the beating of drums.
