    I
    In the shadow of the Galtees
    Stands an Abbey ruin old,
    And like many in our island
    Sad tale of it is told.
    How oft before its altars rose
    The holy word of God.
    And oft upon the sacred floor
    The holy brethren trod.
    There the days were spent in teaching
    Spreading knowledge through the land.
    There the widow and the orphan
    Were fed with generous hand
    Its fame was known o'er mead and plain
    And by the rippling rills
    In cottage and in mansions too
    Along the Galtee Hills.
