- (continued from previous page)was leaving Horeswood.Father Ryan's Farewell.
My friends I must part from Horeswood,
And all I loved so well,
My Bishop's say, I must obey,
And can no longer dwell,
To Galbally he has transferred me,
For their Pastor there is gone,
To him the praise for endless days,
For the God is Three in one,
Farewell to Ballykelly,
Where my friends are one and all,
To Whitechurch and to Duganstown
And also Father Wall,
And each townsland in this Parish,
I bid you now adieu,
It very trying on Father Ryan,
My friends to part from you.11
Farewell unto Dunbrody,
It's a Monastic ruined pile,
Where in former days,
Hymns in Gods praise
Ascended from each Isle,
Farewell unto Kilmallock,(continues on next page)- Collector
