Song
“Young men and maids come lend aid, and ¶ Listen for a while,”
Young men and maids come lend aid, and listen for a while
These simple lines I will pen down, in praise of Erin's Isle
That blooming land on whee you stand, it is fit for any queen
It would rise your heart for to roam a start around Duharra hills so green
II
That land was blessed by the bravest, and the best Saint could be found
It was St. Patrick blessed it, and he planted buds throughout
That was the three leafed Shamrock, that never yet was seen
To grow as plentiful anyy place, as Duharra hills so green
III
It is there you will find the labouring men, prepared with back and spade
For to enter any garden field he never was afraid
He could drive the spade to the maker's name and the like was never seen
For the men are as strong as horses, around Duharra hills so green.- Collector
