    (continued from previous page)
    Mid the ruined walls of Drumseat
    Altho' a few homes still survive
    Midst the hills of Attygart.
    XXI
    The oldest clan is going now
    And ahi 'tis almost gone
    The emigrant ship and workhouse
    And that work too surely done
    But on the fearful final day
    Mid fire and thunder's crash
    God shall average the ruined homes
    Says root old Máire Nash.
