    From thinking of Ireland's valleys and rills.
    Nor would it keep my mind from going.
    Across the dear old Boggerach Hills.
    III
    Oh hills your bleak majestic splendours.
    You are by far more dear to me.
    My memory wakens the thought so tender.
    Than all the beauties that here I see.
    The city sights may be grand and glowing.
    But ah with sadness my heart they fill.
    I even long for the breezes blowing.
    Across the dear old Boggerach Hills.

    The Boggerach Hills, are a range of hills extending from Banteer to Donoughmore, Co. Cork.
