  1. Once More (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    I'd see again the shady spot
    Where in my loved ones lie
    By annbrooks stream I'd fondly dream
    And boyhood days recall
    I'd climb again the old ash tree
    Beside the tanyard wall
    I'd drink a glass at Treacy's bar
    And as I'd cross the door
    Tis there I'd meet an Irish smile
    In old bloughmoyle once more
    I'd like to stand on Carrig heights
    And see the river Nore
    Its primerosed banks I'd trace again
    So far off Templemore
    If I could see dark Corviels shades
    St Cronans church so fair
    Tis little more in life I'd ask
    Well answered were every prayer
    I'd treasure sacred thoughts of thee'
    On this for distant shore
    Gods peace be thine dark Rosoleen
    I'll come to thee once more.
