   "Have you seen the ripe Monadan glisten in Kerry,
   Have you marked on the Galtees the black whortleberry.
   Or the Cannabhan wave by the wells of Blackwater
   Theyre the cheek, Eye, and neck, of ODOnovan's daughter.

   Have you seen a gay kidling on Claraghrs round mountain
   Or the Swan;s arching glory, on Skeehing's blue fountain
   Hear a weird woman chant what the fairy clan brought her
   Theyre the step, grace and tone of ODonovans daughter

   Have you marked in its flight the black wing of the raven
   Or the rose buds that breathe in the Summer breeze waven
   Or the pearls that he hid in Lough Lenes magic water
   Theyre the hair, lip, + teeth of ODonovan's daughter.

   Ere the belfire was dimmed or the dancers departed
   I taught her a song of some maid broken hearted.
   But the group or that dance, or that love song I taught her
   Haunt my slumbers at night with ODonovan's daughter.
   God grant tis no fay from Cnoc Ferna that woes me
   God grant tis not Cliodhna the Queen that pusues me
   That my soul lost + lone has no witchery wrought her
   While I dream of dark groves + ODonovan's daughter.
   While spell bound I pine with an airy disorder,
   Saint Gobnet holds sway as Muagery's wide border
   She'll scare from my couch when with prayers I besought her
   That bright airy sprite like ODonovans daughter.
   -collected from local Sources by the Teacher.
