Near the gate of Ballyfeeney stood the famous old hedge-school
Beside the ash and sycamore a shady place and cool.
A purling stream flowed swiftly by
Its noise was never dead
Where many a hearty laugh was let
And many a tear was shed.

A learned man was he
He taught them from their childhood to learn their ABC.
The pupils all attended well
They were not slow or lazy
With their primers and their
their grammer and their
book called Reading-made-easy.

He'd get a great surprise
He'd be punished most severly for the fault of telling lies.(continues on next page)- Collector
