This poem was written by a local person and is still known and sang by the old people.
Pollan Shore.
1st verse
Come all you true lovers
Where ever that you be
I hope you will pay attention
And listen unto me
Until I sing a verse or two that
I composed to day
Concerning that lovely place.
Called Sweet Pollan Bay
2nd Verse
O' sure Pollan, it is beautiful
As every body knows.
For every Sunday evening
There the boys and girls go
And if you want to see your
Love and you to go that way
You will find them all assembled
On the greens at Pollan Bay.
3rd verse
When I go down to Pollan Shore
I look from me far and near(continues on next page)
