This song was composed by Maurus Ó Faoláin, a Cistercian priest born in Kilrossanty, Co Waterford 1853. He was elected Abbot of Mount Mellery in 1908 and remained there until his death in 1931. He collected poetry as well as composing his own. The Comeragh Mountains are a glaciated mountain range situated in the south east of Ireland in County Waterford. They are located between the towns of Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel on the County Tipperary border and the villages of Kilrossanty and Kilmacthomas in County Waterford. The twelve mountains which form the Comeragh Mountains are very popular for mountain climbers and hikers. The highest point is at 792 m (2,598 ft). My heartfelt blessings On your valleys and mountains Sweet Comeragh And on your cheeful people So naturally kind Sweet Comeragh On your shining streams And your leafy woodlands Your honeyed slopes And your gleaming meadows My heart fills with love For all of them surely Sweet Comeragh Your rugged peaks Are a handsome sight Sweet Comeragh As the rising sun Sets them aflame Sweet Comeragh Cliffs and steep slopes In every direction Like a satin weave From a magic loom As the dew falls From the heavens high Sweet Comeragh I was a while away From your beauty Sweet Comeragh Slaving so hard In a foreign land Sweet Comeragh Base work it was Just making a living Far from my home ’Neath the shade of your mountains So I came back to you The flower of the Déise Sweet Comeragh
