    So to conclude and finish, as I have no more to say. If one of you would come with me about the middle of May. When the trout is on the river, as it was in days of yore. With rod and line we will on the banks of the "Owen Mór".
    The above song was supplied to me by my brother, Thomas Rogers age 27 of the same address. It was composed by John Harte of Seefin, Cloonloo, Boyle. He was over eighty years of age when he composed this song.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
