    IV
    The hare and rabbit unpursued by Sortsmen
    Are often coursing along the lawn
    And the crystal fountains down from the mountains
    Through the lovely valley of Glenacurrane.
    V
    I have been to Cork and in Killarney
    The Groves of Blarney I saw last May
    I went to Lismore along the Blackwater
    And to Youghal harbour another day.
    VI
    I went to Cork for a true Repealer
    The librator of Derrynane
    I saw no landscape so romantic
    As that verdant valley of Glenacurrane.
    VII
    Now, I am bound for a foreign nation
    Far from this beauty I must reside
    Goof-by to friend and to kind relations
    And to my walks by the Funcheon side.
