Hand-ball Alley
The music of the waterfall, the mirror of the tide,
When all the greenhill'd harbour is full from side to side,
From Portnasun to Bulliebawns, and round the Abbey Bay,
From rocky Inis Saimer to Coolnargit sand-hills grey;
While far upon the southern line, to guard it like a wall,
The Leitrim mountains clothed in blue gaze calmly over all,
And watch the ship sail up or down, the red flag at her stern;-
Adieu to these, adieu to all the winding banks of Erne!

This green wasn't looking quite so good last time I was home.
Looking out to Donegal Bay, then the Atlantic Ocean.  Next stop America
