- See the lurid glare that lights the gloom,
And paints yon western sky
With a blood-red tinge-as tho' Hell's fierce flame
Were mirrored there on high.
See the york-based cliffs that mock the might of Sligo's rushing bay,
How they totter now in the fitful gleam
That lays their forehead grey;
And the rugged peaks of Knocknaree
Show bright their giant forms
Round the Cairn lone that marks where Maeve
Lies' tombed amid the storms
E'en the inky pall o'er the waterfall
That forms in wild Glencar
Is rent tonight by shafts of light
Sent quivering from afar. Oh what portends this sheeted flame
That reddens field and wave?
Doth it speak of hope for Innisfail
Doth it rouse the pining slave?
Is Eoghan come down from his northern hills
To smite the savage horde(continues on next page)- Collector
