- (continued from previous page)I love you still sweet Hill of Slane.And from your summit one can view
The Hill of Screen and Tara too
I love your ruins and buildings all
Your trees so green and your ivy'd wall
Your little graveyard by your side
Is the resting place of my friends who died
That's the reason, tho' it gives me pain
I love you still sweet Hill of Slane.With your little town of Slane so near
If you could only speak it would hear
Yet in silent words you speak the past
A story that will ever last
Yes, you tell the story well
Of Ireland saints of shot and shell
To gaze on you - you say, quite plain
Great Irishmen Sweet Hill of Slane.A warm spot there's in my heart
For you, Sweet Slane, why did we part?
But fate alas, has deemed it so
But still no matter where I go
I've one hope left, my heart does burn
That once again I will return.(continues on next page)- Collector
