- (continued from previous page)Some loved to see each flowering tree
And ancient lordly hall,
But my thoughts that day were far away
On the hills of Donegal.IVRound Tory Isle we steamed in style,
And the mainland we could see,
The purple tops of Errigal
And the Crags of [?];
Old Muckish Grand in glittering sand
Looked proudly over all:
I heaved a sigh and bade good-bye
To the hills of Donegal.”No. 4—A poet named Mick Mac Garvey lived in Meenglas about fifty years ago. He used to make poems about people he did not like. He was one time taken away by the fairies, and it was believed to be from them that he got the gift of poetry.
