- (continued from previous page)When “Even” spreads her ebon screen
One yet may hear the ghostly keen,
Of women wailing for their dead.Composed by Father Mackessy who was born at Knocknanuss now living in Buttevant. - Castlemagner is a long time lonely
And now to raise it to the highest mirth,
There is not a spot the wide world over
To be compared with the Castle Earth.

Where many people lie cold and still
A bright clear river that writes and quivers and flows so neatly,
Down by the old mill.

Swanzy's glen on a bright spring morning
To see the foxes how they do roam
Tis there you'll see, thrush and Blackbird in a roving line
From grove to grove.(continues on next page)- Informant
