- Now Paddy Bourke transferred the scene,
From Cromwell* hill to Ballyporeen,
Where most malicious acts had been
Committed by a ghost.
That haunted the valley up and down,
From Gally's base to Knockmealdown;
Beside some hamlet, house, or town,
The spectre would take her post.Said the seanachie if any cared,
I'd tell you how my comrade fared
When to run an errand he had dared,
upon the Burncourt Road;
And how he raced at breakneck speed,
In a frantic effort to precede
Her, to his friends abode.Far down the road the shadows lie
of Gally's summit towering high;
Where hawthorn hedges beautify,
At night obscure the way.*Cromhill in parish of Killeely.(continues on next page)- Informant
