___________________________________________

"Come with me on a bright May morn
Through bridal hedgerows of white Hawthorn
Chorus of songbirds fill the air
Perfume of lilac everywhere
Swans with mates glide peacefully past
Can any joy in the world surpass
The fairest gem in Carlow's crown
A walk by the Barrow in Bagenalstown"
