41 St. Mark's and Sluggadhoo we passed
 * And came to Ballamoddha,

And here my Fairy Company
 * Fell into some disorder.

For men, they said, and motor-cars
 * Have spoiled the roads for Fairies,

We'll meet you further on, they said,
 * Among the lonely Gareys.

I scarce had gone a mile before
 * My steed began to blether,

Her fairy shoes, she said, were best
 * For travelling through the heather.

So round she went, and West she went,
 * And through the pleasant Gareys,

And here I met my friends again,
 * My company of Fairies.

And over Colby Bridge we raced
 * And through the Croit-y-Caley,

And all the folk from Cronk-Howe-Moar
 * Came out to meet us gaily.

Then up Cregneash we went like storm
 * For day began to hurry,

And at the circle met the sun
 * And stayed at Lag-ny-Wurry.

And on the Hill we danced till eve
 * And round about the hollow,

Till all the bones got up and joined
 * And set themselves to follow.
