Old Cork Beside the Lee.

Stately cities rise in splendor
Ger the land wherein 1 dwell,
And they waken feelings tender
In the hearts that love them we'll
Some for Frisco's golden gateway,
Some for Boston and New York,
But l vow I'd leave them straightway
For a glimpse of dear old Cork!
Yes. their glcries I'd abandon
Once again the soil to stand OH
From which rise the walls of Shandon.
Far across the spreading sea.
Once gain to see the city
Where the boys are brave and witty,
And the girls are sweet and pretty,
In old Cork beside the Lee!
Stately cities rise in splendor
Der the world fram pole to pole,
But I never will surrender
That old city of my soul:
She is neither Rome nor Venice,
Neither London nor New York,
i'"t iicietI Hlt lNllSue OF pen is
l will hymn the praise of Cork!
Yes. wherever l may wander
Still my heart will ever ponder
On that old town over yonder.
Far across the spreading sea,
On that famous Irish city,
Where the boys are brave and witty,
And the girls are sweet and pretty,
In cid Cork beside the Lee!
Should again our land in sple,nlor
From her lowly state arise,
Flinging forth-may Gcd defend her.
Fer green banner to the Skies
Many cNi!es would he thronging
Back from Boston and New York.
Just to satisfy their longing
Fer a glimpse of dear old Cork!
All. there would be 10 delaying
Those whose hearts fer years were
praying
On the Mar(yke to go straying
AS in days Of youth and glee
In that charming Irish city,
Where the boys are brave and witty.
And the girls are sweet and pretty,
In old Cork beside the Lee!
