- (continued from previous page)Why do I now these thoughts conjure,
'Tis not because I'm sad,
'Tis not because I'm poor or weak
Nor yet because I'm glad.But Clondegad, dear Clondegad,
I've travelled many a mile,
Nor yet thy equal have I found
Throughout the British Isle.The beauty of its scenery
Ne'er from my memory fades,
Nor daring of its hardy sons
Nor fairness of its maids.One hope lies treasured in my breast,
Tis when this life shall close,
That in the vault of Clondegad
My body shall repose. The above lines were supplied by Susan Browne who got them from her father, Thomas Browne, Cappanageragh, Lissycasey.The author is supposed to have been Dr. Harry Whitestone of Clondegad, who practised in Yorkshire, England.- Collector
