  1. Poem - The Hills of Laragan Mór

    Share Share Post
    im thinking of the bygone days,
    when you and i did roam,
    down by the glannduffin flowery fields,
    beside my native home,
    with moorlands broad and wide,
    and tranquel lakes to see,
    they had to go like many more,
    across the far-flung sea,
    the land upon some foreign shore,
    their future home to be,
    those pretty girls of haragan,
    are modest,true and kind,are exciles in some strangers land,
    far from the Laragan side,
    I love the hills of Laragen.
