    as I was drawing nigh
    Till one more fine upon my line, at length I chanced to spy.
    St Peter's church it was the first
    that attracted my wandering gaze.
    From twelve to two, I stood to view
    Its most enchancing says.
    Search Erins isle from end to end
    you'll get no better than that sweet spot beloved by Pat in lovely Magheracloone.
    as I went to Drumgossatt cross
    just on the level ground.
    To see a new national school built
    up erect and sound.
    Such convenience, it is fine to see with a masters lovely home.
    There are changes fine since 89 round lovely Magheracloone.
