- There is a lovely flower of attractive power
Within our parish grows
Many a one has taken a tour
To view that lovely rose.
It ne'er decays through Winter days
It's always found in bloom
That lovely flower of Feddans' lower
Sweet Rose of Aughnabroon.Some with their guns and silky dogs
Go hunting as it were
They search along those gloomy bogs
To hunt the sporting hare
While others dwell down at the well
On Sunday afternoon
To watch the dell of that fair belle
Sweet Rose of Aughnabroon.Some prefer the darkest night
Their sight it must be sharp
While others watch the pale moon rise
Or the rising of the lark
It's all in vain they ne'er shall gain(continues on next page)- Collector
