   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   A poem composed by Thomas McLoughlin Selton, Drumkeeran who now resides in Scotland. The subject of this poem is "The hills above the town."

   Let poets sing of beauty-spots, in foreign climes so grand;
   Of towering rocky mountains, or the scene in Switzerland;
   Of babbling brooks and shady nooks, which are the Saxon's pride;
   And Scotia's praise of lofty peaks, and chains (?) of lakes beside;
   But for a healthy holiday, there's none but will agree;
   The hills around Drumkeeran, for beauty hold the key;
   Wild nature here sure has the sway with streamlets rushing down;
   While white-washed homes enhance the view of the hills above the town.
