    of well proportioned size
    If lovers of the beautiful would visit this they'd see
    A sight that surpasses the far-famed River Lee.

    The handsome maids and stalwart men
    Of glorious Gleann - na - gCreabhar
    'Twould fill their hearts with grievous pangs
    To leave their shady bower
    But Saxons rule and poverty
    Have caused them far to roam
    Far away across the sea
    From their loved island home.
    Oh! may the notes of freedom shine
    When peace and prosperity will follow on in a while
    We'll have our trade and industries as we had before
    Those sneering tyrants took possession of our shore.
