I Hope Again To Climb On Clara

I hope again to climb on Clara on a Summer day in July
When little brown lark rise from the bracken to sing as upwards he does fly
And singing as he is ascending that he is Nature's supreme aerial songster none ought to deny
In fancy i can hear him singing a musical speck in the sky
So often i stood on old Clara and gazed on the green countryside
The scenery from Clara quite beautiful that stretches for miles far and wide
Around the borders of Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra beyond the high country of Knocknagree
From the bracken and heather clad slopes of old Clara there is so much beauty to see
I hope again to climb on Clara old Clara from here far away
When the blue whortleberries are on the heather on a sunny July Summer day
And eat my fill of the ripe berries and then sit and gaze on the beauty for miles around
The beautiful scenery of the Cork and Kerry border is amazing from the higher ground
I hope again to climb on Clara on a sunny Summer day in July
When the little brown skylark is singing a musical speck in the sky.
