And Fineen Burke and Shane Magee,
And Eily, Kate, and Mary,
Rushed in with panting haste to see
And welcome Caoch O'Leary.
O, God be with those happy times,
O, God be with my childhood,
When I, bare-headed, roamed all day
Bird-nesting in the wild wood!
I'll not forget those sunny hours
However years may vary;
