Forgive me if to you I seem indifferent and your ways I will never imitate
For I only wish to live in peace with others and I do not have the will in me to hate
You say this is a good Race and this a bad Race with such thinking I never could agree
I never was into comparing Races there's good and bad in all of humanity.

I only wish to be alone with Nature to see the moon creep through the starry sky
And hear the lapwings in the paddocks calling I know some...

In centuries from now in Spring and Summer song birds will pipe and whistle on the trees
And wild flowers will bloom in valley by the mountains and little girl to her parents will say please
Take me to the park playground on sunday morning where I can play with my young friends for an hour or two
I love this spot above all other places when there's such fun things I can get to do.

And Gortavehy beautiful on sunny summer's day
But every day not warm in June and...

Sweet holy Tubrid heavenly serene
A place where god walk and his angels do dream
Where clear spring water bubbles up through the ground
For to form a beautiful well all around.

In the halls of my mind I hear heaven's bell ring
And see God's angels bathing in Tubrid's bright spring.

O'er the Claraghatlea rushes a skylark sing sweet...
