- (continued from previous page)While lovely they rot
On that low sweet spot
On the island of Inisglora
(III)In the good days of old,
For such we are told,
Ere aliens thronged her shore,
There once lived in this place,
A grand holy race,
Who kindled the fires of love.
When the laws of the land,
With an iron hand
Crushed the faith of forefathers holy,
They failed to efface
The name of this place
The island of Inisglora
(IV)Now the sun in the west
Is sinking to nest
Its rays over the deep waters shining,
As I strayed on the strand
Of this once famous land,
On the beach with sadness repining
I sighed for the day,
When the glorious ray,
Of religion shall shine pure and holy(continues on next page)- Collector
