   A Culdaff man named James Green was a poet of some note. He died a few years ago and is buried Bocan Church Chuldaff. He never attended a day school. The little education he had he received at an evening school a winters in his own parish. He was indeed a self taught man. He wrote many poems. The following is an admired one - Sweet Inis Eoghain
   Sweet Inis Eoghain
   Sweet Inis Eoghain you are renowned in story
   ? silvery brooks and your rippling rills
   ? St Patrick's time were Owen's glory
   ? while life remains I will love thee still

   Slieve Sneacht Iween is your highest mountain
   A cap of snow its head doth crown
   Cruck-na-nonian has crystal fountains
   That to the Foyle goes a dashing down.

   Round the Meentagh Lough and the Lake of Shadows
   ? spirit lingers to pause a while
   ? Culdaff you have emerald meadows
   ? emerald singers the time beguile

   Malin Glen and Strabrega's waters
   Claim your attention as you pass by
