    Far Fair Rosduff
    16th Nov, 1937.
    There is a spot far away.
    From the place where I am standing.
    A spot which my fond heart.
    Shall never forget.
    But memory clings around it.
    So pure and so tender.
    That even its name
    Brings a throb of regret
    For the long vanished day of my childhood.
    When earth was all pleasure.
    Still lonely enough.
    But could I recall them.
    Those bright golden hours.
    I spent long ago.
    In Far Fair Rosduff.
    The grand River Erne.
    Flows down by the meadows.
    Passing silent and swiftly.
    By Mc Naboe's mill.
    Gliding under a bridge.
    Which encircles its bosom.
