  1. (continued from previous page)
    II (contd.)
    To me alas! They matter not,
    Farewell once more beloved Cullane.
    Chorus
    III
    And when beneath a bronzing sky
    In pensive mood, betimes I stray,
    Ah! the tears drop glistening from my eye
    For home and friends far, far away.
    But should my pent-up grief find rest,
    As I recall each flowery bawn,
    I'll trust in God and be content
    To tread once more beloved Cullane.
