    I have roamed and wandered all scenes of honour
    Where the starry banner I did behold
    Thro' magus and temples where Jews and Gentiles
    grave All in dedication to the Gods of old
    Thro' museums and theatres depicting nature
    Where Borth + Herald did the dead so vile
    ocean By perpetrating the asses
    Still my imagination was Clonbrick + Ayle
    4 There's no place to equal that lovely Erin
    With its humble graces in perfect bloom
    The fields and gardens and meadows churning
    And the songsters warbling in Ma + June
    The Cuckoo speaking with articulation
    And contemplating with proud nature's smile
    All in combination and appreciation
    That rural station Clonbrick and Ayle
