Yet idle as those visions seem
They were a strange yet faithful guide
When heaven itself had scarce a gleam
To light my darkened life beside.
And if from grosser guilt escaped
I feel no dying dread the thanks
Adieu to the power that shaped
My visions on the Brosna’s BanksIV
And love I feel will come too late
Abe too late to comfort me
And fetters from the land be cast
Though I may not survive to see
If then the gifted good and brave
Admit me to their glorious ranks
My memory may though not my grave
Be green upon the Brosna’s BanksJohn Breen, Rosnadough, Camross.- Informant
