A Song (continued)
“Im the year of 52 in the month of December”
(continued from previous page)and cried most bitterly.
Saying how can I live when my joy and my glory
Are sunk in Lough Swilly where the wild billows roar.
VI
All round by Urrismana the home of Diana
No more the sons of Grainne no more they'll run away.
They're wet with tears so awful you may loudly call them often.
And wake them in their coffins until the 'Judgement Day."- Collector
