That gently flow by hut and hall beneath the bright sunbeams;
But plain or stream or meadow green or flower upon the lea(?),

And he would go through frost and snow on the merry Christmas Day
With ringing cheer to hunt the deer from his haunts in dark Glenveagh.In his little boat O'Boyle would float, a fishing he would go,
With hook and line to Lackagh stream that flows near Castle Doe.

And on the lofty battlements in sorrow deep she pined.(continues on next page)- Collector
