Ere I conclude this rugged lae
I pray the bard excuse
He was but a simple rustic youth
Unaided by the muse
I do regret I am unfit
Full justice to this man
The songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan stand

As the thrush and blackbird in the Spring
Sings on yond leafy spray
So he to pass those tedious hours
Sings as he toils away
It pleasure only seems to him
He can so his voice command
The songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan stand.

When the Summer bright long sunny days
Are over past and gone
The Winter keen it does set in
The nights grow dark and long
From far and near they come to hear
This truly gifted man
The songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan stand.(continues on next page)- Collector
