In Spring in Duhallow a nice time of year
The songs of the nesting birds so pleasant to hear
The Boggeragh Mountains on most days of low fog are clear
And each dawn brings the warmer days of Summer near
The voice of the cuckoo can be heard in May
And the swallows are home to breed from Lands far away
The fields green and resplendent in their Nature's flowers
That bloomed to life in the cool April showers
Cloaked in their white blossoms the hawthorn trees are a beautiful sight
They seem to sparkle after a Spring shower with droplets of rain on them in the sunlight
And the breeding mute swans of feathers white as snow
Swimming in the river pools of the Blackwater their reflections do show
Earthly Utopia is near to Duhallow in Spring
When in the leafy groves the nesting birds sing
And the cattle on nutritious young grass after months of living on silage and hay
Looking quite contented and gaining weight by the day.
