Song (continued)
“Oh Coolkelure, sweet Coolkelure the home of beauty rare”
(continued from previous page)IV
The mansion grand though desolate
Is lovely as of yore,
The scenery surrounding it
Enhancing it the more.
The wooded slopes along the lake
Will homage oft divide
With the pretty ivymantled church
Most picturesque beside
V
St Edmund's school, the churchyard neat
The Rectory and all
While here & there a choice retreat
Will on the vision fall
And when the mists from Owen clear
No sky on earth so pure
As the blue transcendent one
Above you, Coolkelure.
VI
Would I could sing, the whole day long
Like Autumn's gentle breeze,
Or outrival the wild birds' song,
That rings amidst your trees
Your beauty then would famous be
And tourists I'd assure
There's not within the Irish Isle
A vale like Coolkelure.(continues on next page)- Informant
