    and grand
    Covered o'er with wild flowers from nature's own hand
    The green mantled hillsides would delight you to see
    Oh rare are thine equals Fair Borrisoleigh
    There's its beautiful Church with its stately Cross Crown
    That sign of redemption high o'ver the town
    Its as beautious a building as any could be
    Its stands in thy centre Fair Borrisoleigh.
    There's its beautiful Sanctuary the admiration of all
    With its beautiful windows and mosaic walls
    And the white marble altar of noble design
    Its a monument of glory to the good Canon Ryan.
