- The Morning Star (tributary of the Mague which flows into the Shannon) rises near the village of Ballylanders. ----------------------I am lone in the city for me heart is elsewhere
In the sweet sunny south with its mild balmy air
There the birds from the brakes pour sweet music afar
Ah my heart is still there by the calm Morning Star.For the eyes I love best wheresoever I roam
Shine serene by that stream nigh my own native homeNow what is the city with its smoke wreathed gloom
To the sweet tints of Nature & the wild flowers bloom
I would fly from its domes even proud tho' they are
To one sweet briary cut by the calm Morning Star.So to thee shall I turn sweetest maid of my heart
From the belles of the city & the splendour of art
With thine eyes flashing love which no darkness can marr
I can live in sweet bliss by the calm Morning Star.- Informant

- We bow not to London tho' haughty its name
We stoop not to Paris tho' wide spread its fame
These are places that have been but their style is comely
Now our own isle of green does their effort defy.
