- (continued from previous page)Social BallylandersOh there are hearts where friendship reigns
Amid the tempest of despair
Oh there is blood within some veins
That freely flows despite of care
Of hearts like those you would adore
Where love is centered in the core
They dwell apart from Erin's shore
In social Ballylanders. Their brow is stern their temper high
They brook no wrong at any price
The fiery flash that lights their eye
Denotes no trace of cowardice.
But meet them o'er a flowing bowl
When wine inflames the youthful soul
And mirth and joy pervade the whole
The Boys of Ballylanders. So may we merit while we sip
the smile of him who watches o'er us
And friendship never stint the lip
To mar the happy joys before us
May feelings pure spontaneous start
And never may the fame depart
the willing hand to warm the heart
That's found in Ballylanders.
