“Mrs Donoghue's grandmother was dead.”
Mrs. O'Donoghue's grandmother was dead. She had 4 sons away. The people at home had made a new house and had made a barn of the old house.
Part of the "caoin" was:-"Nuair a tháinigh tú go dtí an lios,
Ní fheaca deatach i dtigh,
Ná ní fheaca na fir amuigh.
- Caoin eile - from Mrs. Donoghue:-"Nuair a gheobhaidh mé bás
Scriobadh tú litir anonn thar caise
Agus beidh seoladh dubh ar barra
Agus gheobhaidh siad cúntas ar do mharbh.
