    (continued from previous page)
    They entered to pay my obedience
    At the altar where I stood before
    And the gospel and all its foundation
    Was read to a thousand or more
    Beneath stood a fine congregation
    Of friends and relations galore
    And the bright lamps of heaven
    were shining
    On the Chapel of charming Rossmore
    A rock is our chapel foundation
    Sure it cannot be shaken or fall
    It is guaranteed by the heavenly angel
    St. Peter, St. John and St. Paul
    It stands there quiet cold, bare and naked
    While others in beauty to shine
    In its valley it will not beforesaken
    Says our patriot Fr.O'Brien
    Chorus.
    For the valley lay smiling before me
