- Let poets sing of beauty spots in foreign climes so grand,
Of towering rocky mountains or the scenes in Switzerland,
Of babbling brooks and shady nooks which are the Saxon pride,
And Scotia's praise of lofty peaks and chain of lakes beside.
But for a healthy holiday theirs none but will agree
The hills south of Drumkeeran for beauty hold the Key,
Wild nature here sure has the sway with streamlets rushing down,
While white washed homes enhance the view of the hills above the town. If you want a warm welcome
Then knock at any door,
From Litter to the Colliery,
There's failte there go leor,
They'll seat you near the fire(continues on next page)- Collector
