- (continued from previous page)Written by Michael Lane,
Glenastar, Ardagh.Facts collected from:
John Lane."The Foot of Rooska Hill".One day in recreation.
The fields all round been brightly crowned.
With flowers of every king.
About mid day I chanced to stray.
Down a portlong rill.
And as I did pass I met a lass.
At the foot of Rooska Hill.She was not vain, but straight and plain.
She was not very tall I own.
She wore a purple robe.
Likewise a knitted shawl.
Her golden hair was flashing fair.(continues on next page)- Collector
