    And its soft mellow peals call the faithfulll to prayer
    As they float on the breeze o'er valley and lea
    And die midst thy green mountains Fair Borrisoleigh

    Where the warrior fought and the bard sang his theme
    With its ivy crowned turrets it stands majestically
    Looking silently o'er Fair Borrisoleigh
