- This song was made by John Reilly Greaghadusan.I
Ive seen strange plans in foreign lands
Polatial buildings that gleamed like pearls
But none so grand in any land,
As the new school house in Lisnagirl.II
Its style tho classic is not fantastic.
And is admired by far and near.
It was erected and the site selected.
By Fr. Bernard of Killinkere.III
He chose the site he fought the fight
For our rights they did dispute.
In the Courts of Dublin they sought to trouble him.
But their wily tactics he did refute.IV
His fame and glory will record in story.
Till our heads are hoary we'll him revere.
Brave Fr. Bernard of fame so learned
That raised the model in Killinkere.V
This zealous pastor serve master.
His flock he watches with an anxious eye.(continues on next page)- Informant
