  1. Carolan The Bard (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Once every thought and every scene was gay.
    Friends, mirth and music my hours employ'd
    Now doom'd to mourne my last sad years away.
    My life a solitude | my heart a void.
    Alas, the change - to change again no more.
    For every every comfort is with Mary fled
    And ceaseless anguish shall her loss deplore
    Till age and sorrow join me with the dead.
    Note - The above verses are only translations of OCarolan's poems which were all composed in Irish.
