And peace and prosperity reigns all around,
I'm not half so happy or blessed
or contented as I was at home on the old scented ground.

The heath covered mountains I'll travel again,
For there's no place on earth seems to me so delicious as to meet my dear friends near the old Tanyard lane.

With the loving companions I'll ne'er again meet,
When youth truds to school as it was newly gravelled,
How lightly we'd trod then to save our bare feet.
