Song (continued)
“There sits in the emerald isle of the ocean”
(continued from previous page)musical sound
The thrushes whose lays from their lofty pine station
Proclaim to the world their songs of renown.At night when I silently rest on my pillow
I'd awake to well - lonely sound of the cuckoo
Her notes so melodious from the top of a willow
Forsaking the woods to my cottage she flewBonet flows through Lough Gill by dividing its water
It torrents to Sligo it rolls to the sea
Tradition accents that a mermaids daughter
Is seen on it's billows(continues on next page)- Informant
