These were the days, the grand old days
When those pious men
Sung to God the daily praise
They knew not what was sin.4
Now,they are gone but still stand there
The chapel on the hill
While all around seemed fresh and fair
The monks be slumbering still5
I think i hear the treat of feet,
The sound of bell and prayer
The grandest spot in all the earth
Blest Carrick in Kildare6
O Carrick dear I love you still,
Historic to the core
Where writes, they might have their fill
Of History go leor.Continuation on opposite page.(continues on next page)
