    seven in all
    Unto this present day
    And if you go there on a Summer’s day
    About twelve or one o’clock
    You’ll see the gander flying
    Round grand old Glendalough.
    Note. When I was a youngster (50 yrs ago) I often heard my grand aunt singing this grand old song, while she made the spinning wheel “hum”.
