  1. Fr John O'Reilly's Song for his Parish of Clannlabhrás

    There is not in all Kerry a parish like mine
    Where lovely green nature decks out in her prime
    Where teh sun lights the valley, & the moon lights the bay
    And makes the year round a perpetual day.

    Fond lakes of Clanlawrence I have strayed round your shores
    The banks of your rivers I oft have walked oer,
    The sea-beach I've wandered full many a time
    Oh! see what a fairy-land is this parish of mine.
    III
    Fond lakes of Clanlawrence how gorgeous you rise
    With your hills & peak summits from Hungry to Gadhail
    Like sisters playing high-gates[?] you chain[?] and go round
    You shelter my cottage & smile on me down.
