   Once More
   1.
   Since first I left my native hills,
   In years 'Tis nigh two score
   And twice again I've seen the rocks
   That gird old Kerry's shore.
   With tears, my aching eyes are dim
   and oft' I breathe a prayer,
   That I may see before I die,
   The hills and valleys there.
   "God save all here", I'd like to say
   across some old half door.
   "God save you kindly Sir" I'd hear
   In Erin's Isle once more.
   2.
   On Knockshegowna's slope I'd sit and ponder fairy lore.
   I'd listen for the curlew's cry,
   across the lonesome moor
   Lisebryan's wood I'd see again
   and distant Sopwell Hall
   The Windy Gap it's twilight dance
   has still for me its call
   At Fairy Well I'd drink again
