    (continued from previous page)
    the town by its side
    Tis only in dreams I can hear the sweat pealing
    Of the bells on the hill with their cadence of joy
    Ringing mellow and sweet at the Angelus hour
    Round the mountains and woodlands of dear old Fermoy.
    III
    And only in dreams can I gaze on dark Corrin
    Which frowns tall and green with the town at its feet
    How oft have I rambled far up to its summits
    And gathered green shamrock from wild meadows sweet.
    Oh! memory your chain binds my heart to old Erin
    With links time or absence can never destroy
    It comforts and brightens my life's dreary pathway
    And oh! take me back to my home in Fermoy.
