- " St Kilian"A Lay of the Early Missionary DaysbyJohn Keegan Casey. "Leo" IMany a tower and mist-crowned castle standeth on thy banks, O'Rhine-Many a legend wingeth onward from that silvery wave of thine;Marvels strange and deeds of glory, wrought by peasant, priest and peer,So we steal one from thy garland in the dark days of the year. II'Twas a tall Franconian woodman told this story once to me,As we stood beneath the vine-porch with the corn moon on the leaAnd I sit behind the hearthstone, - wandering bard and seanachie,Chanting forth this golden legend of the times when we were free.
* This poem was written by John K. Casey to commemorate the dedication of St Cillín's Church, Mullagh in 1858 ( J. Drury)(continues on next page)- Collector
