Lough Rynn.
I
T'was flowery June some years ago.
We met companions gay.
O'er hill and dale and shady grove,
We leisurely did stray,
To famed Lough Rynn we onward went,
Where birdies songlets pour,
Where castle stands so very grand,
On Lough Rynns Woody shore,

We viewed the lovely trees that bloomed,
Like flowerettes in May,
We saw the boatmen on the waves,We heard the waters roar,
Each lovely scene was quite serene,
On Lough Rynns Woody shore,
