- Together oft we strayed beside
The Anner's crystal stream
And built our castles in the air
On base of 'love's young dream"
Old Slievenamon has memories
With those in story told
When freedom's shout echoed around
In glorious days of oldWhen gazing on that storied mount
My heart thrills with the fire
That showed the croppy's eager pike
And lit the peasant's ire
To deeds of reckless daring when
"United Boys" march'd on
To guard their homes & maidens fair
Around old Slievenamon. Enough" I know that spirit lives
And flourishes apace
And hardy sons still tread its sides
Who'd take their fathers' place
Begone you burning memories
Let softer scenes come on(continues on next page)
