Poem (Song)
“Adieu my lonely cottage dell, I am going far oer the main for in a foreign land to dwell.”
Adieu! my lonely cottage dell,
I am going far oer the main,
Far in a foreign land to dwell.
With thee I can ne'er remain.
The rock-field is still dear to me.
As in youth it did alure
For to sit upon it's mossy banks
And gaze upon the Suir
ChorusIt's the gentle rushing river
To me shall be the same,
Where the leafy branches quiver
In Kilcommon's lone demain.
(2)It's Cahir Abbey's fertile valley,
To thee I will bid farewell,
If thou could speak in the after years.
What a sad, sad tale they tell.
Of youth, and love and beauty,
Whilst pondering in the shade,
Or resting on that terrace cote,
Where the sun-beams gently played.
