A Local Song (continued)
“Gorderry is a lovely place ¶ Surrounded all with trees”
(continued from previous page)There are gravel walks
For maids to talk
And seats for to sit down
And a lovely bud of roses in the pleasure ground.
The river Fane flows through the plain
And gives a pleasant look.
Where many a gallant fisherman
Through (thre) out his line and hook.The blackbird, thrush and warbler
sing their notes with trill (or that thrill)
And cheer you on your journey
going up Corderry hill.
