- The Rose of AughnabroneThere is flower of attractive power,
That in one parish grows.
‘Tis many a one that takes a tour
To view this lovely rose;
This lovely flower, it needs no shower
‘Tis always in full bloom
‘Tis the lovely flower of Feddin’s bower
The Rose of Aughnabrone.
II
This flower, it wants no Autumn shower
It needs no earthly dew
‘Tis to be found at every hour
It’s beauty ever new.
It's tresses down both fair and brown
The hearts of men to win
‘Tis the lovely flower of Feddin’s bower
The Rose of Aughnabrone.
III
Some with swift and silky dogs
Go hunting as it were
Down through the bogs and gloomy glen
We know what brings them there
While others dwell down at the well
On a Sunday afternoon
To view the flower of Feddin’s bower
The Rose of Aughnabrone(continues on next page)
