SONG OF THE MOURNES

Sing a song of pleasant beaches

Where the mountains meet the sea.

Sing of woods and shadowed streamlets

From the uplands bounding free.

Sing of crags against the high sky,

Shepherd's path and quarry track,

Stone fringed fields, scots pine and fuchsia,

All the things that call us back.

Sing of remote tarn and valley,

Brown bog, castellated ridge.

Sing of quiet road and loanin

Winding to a granite bridge.

Sing of gorse and rock-strewn foothills,

And of tidy homesteads where

Peace-loving, kindly people

Smile a Mourne welcome there.

From 'Wayfarer in the Mournes'
