- Where lived P. Galligan's abode.
Turn half a furlong from the road.
And facing to the noon-day beam,
Go on until you meet the stream
So soft and silent steals along,
As if listening to the warbler's song
On some beautiful May morn
From out the fragrant sweet haw-thorn.
There on the bridges battlement
Take a seat and be content.
Until from memory I will trace
The out-line of that holy place.
There stood the chapel, and the school
For sacrifice and rod and rule.
Despite the laws of penal days,
Our fearless fathers at Crosshays
Assembled on one long watched day
The day or date I will not say.
Obedient to the Pastor's call
To dig the ground and lay the wall.(continues on next page)- Collector
