- Teampall Nua by Owen Bresnan

romantic shore
Where the shamrocks and the ivy ever grow,
Where the wild dove and the raven, like protecting

On the graves of those who nursed us long ago,
May high heaven smile upon thee, and its choicest
gifts bestow.
On the shades of thy loved sleepers, Teampull Noe.IIBy that high and hoary gable which defies the wreck of time,

Will place the wreath of laurels o'er his grave,
Chorus: Sweet Teampull Noe, etc.IIIBy the firesides of our fathers in the troubled days

But that harp is mute for ever, and the minstrel is no more
For he's sleeping in silent Teampull Noe,(continues on next page)
