- (continued from previous page)In the cold dark winter night
When the hearth-stone was swept so clean and neat
And the big turf fire was bright.Ah! tell me about the road to the Quay
Are there many changes there?
In fancy now I can plainly see
The distant hills of Clare
I can see every twist in the old green lane
That led to the Shannon shore,
Oh! would I could visit those scenes again
I loved in the days of yore.Written by Mr Patrick Moran (now residing in Miltown)
