    So early in the morning
    I live contented in the furze
    Till I'm annoyed by peers and sirs
    They waken me with whips and spurs
    Without a moments warning In this poem Jimmy Clarke shows an intimate knowledge of the counties of Carlow, Wicklow, and Leix and also several well hunting families in them. He wrote another poem about Wolfkill Chapel describing the interior of the Chapel and also describing the magnificent view of the surrounding counties from Wolfhill which is about 1000 feet above sea level.
