- (continued from previous page)lived in Barnes about a hundred years ago. When he was going away to America he made a poem about Donegal. Here it is:“Oh Donegal, the pride of all,
My heart still turns to thee.
My cottage home where I did roam
When I was young and free,
The houses grand in foreign lands
Cannot compare at all
With my cottage bright on a winter night
On the hills of Donegal.IIOh it’s well I mind in the harvest time
That doleful dreary day
When I was leaving Donegal
To wander far away,
My parents kind ran in my mind,
My friends and comrades all,
Then in the van I waved my hand
To the hills of Donegal.IIIThrough Barnes gap without a stop
We passed each towering hill,
And down the Foyle our tug did toil
To the big ship at Moville:(continues on next page)- Collector
