- Lines addressed by Philip Danaher of Moyreen to his niece a Sister of Mercy at Kilrush.1
"To grant thy wish, I court the muse,
And sweep my lyre again,
My cherished Niece, I can't refuse,
This last poetic strain,
Of olden times when life was young,
In that dear home of thine,
Where we together often sung,
The days of auld Lang Syne.

And though before life's final close,
The rays of fortune shine,
No future days can equal those,
We spent in Auld Lang Syne.
