    The sweet river Feale
    1
    From a spot near a river
    Beyond the wide sea
    come greetings from you
    Fond greetings from me
    Ah, how kind are those words
    Wishing comfort and weal
    That come from my friends
    Near the sweet river Feale.
    2
    Some years have rolled by
    Since I had to depart
    From those whom I loved
    From the depths of my heart
    Unlimited, unfettered, my thoughts often steal
    Away far away to my sweet river Feale
    3
    Ah, how oft' did I stray
    as the sun sank to rest
    Through woods and green valleys
    With friends I loved best
    Till recalled from my rambles
    By the bells mellow peal
    Ringing clear o'er the waters
    Of the sweet river Feale.
