    Nestling like an infant on its mother’s loving breast,
    Lulled by natures’ melodies lying peaceful and at rest.
    Sweet sequestered cradled there among this purple hills,
    Where twixt the firs and heathers, flow a thousand rippling rills.
    This is part of a poem composed by John Ryan,
    Postal Official,
    Tipperary.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
