  1. (continued from previous page)
    Built the beautiful Abbey of Quin.
    I thought as I walked through the village that day
    Of the noble fine women and men
    I always saw there in that bright part of Clare
    The ancient old parish of Quin.
    Good bye for a while to the people of Quin,
    The Abbey each cot and hotel;
    And whenever I stray on next Candlemas Day
    Give me back the sweet tone of the bell.
