Then nearer home we've Brown's Castles old walls,
Where the wild birds of night fly to rest to its halls.
But a ruin, a ruin is all you now see,
Alas! for the fall of the gallant and free.
XI
Come, find me a spot in our Emerald Isle,
When the glory pf Summer all round flings a smile
When soft Summer bells deck each upland and lawn
To outrival the beauties of Meenogahane.
XII
O Meenogahane! thou art dear unto me,
As I roam on thy bowers with my Cushala machree,
'Tis then I oft tell her thy weird legends old.
When I sing of thy male sons
The war like and bold.
XIII
A health to the scion of Fitzmaurice's race
Who at present resides in this grand ancient place,
Long, Long may he gaze on that green tinted lawn
To keep up the old splendour of Meenogahane.
