   In a hollow near the chapel,
   So well sheltered as a ruin,
   With every accommodation
   Is Larah girls national

   Verse 11
   The road serves as a playground
   And suits well for playing ball,
   The only objection to be had
   Is that the room is too small.

   Verse 111
   Small enough although it is,
   Its very close and warm,
   And children will not be perished
   During the cold winter storm.

   verse iv
   It is roofed with good slates,
   It is ceiled inside,
   It has a comfortable boarded floor,
   Five desks, two forms, a press and
   table, an inside and an outside door.

   Verse v
   It has also a grand sewing machine,
   On which the girls do learn to sew
   Which will not fail to be of service to them
