THE BELLS OF SHANDON

With deep affection and recollection

I often think of the Shandon bells,

Whose sounds so wild would, in the days of childhood,

Fling around my cradle their magic spells.

On this I ponder where'er I wander,

And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of thee;

With thy bells of Shandon,

That sound so grand on
