- (continued from previous page)If I am denied a high place in Heaven to fulfil
I am sure to make room
For the Rose of Russagh Hill.

Goodbye to days of boyhood
And to every friend
For I fear in this world - is at an end
And when she never will be mine
I will remain a bachelor still.
I will never wed when I didn't gain through affection
The Rose of Russagh Hill
- When the springs are low in spring time a wet or bad summer may be expected.
If there is a new moon late in April it is time enough to sow potatoes anytime between that and the next new moon.
