- To the sacred memory of Mrs Charles O'Reilly Keegan of Cankeel, Cloone, and Francis Keegan of Kiltyfea, Cloone, my beloved aunt and cousin, now resting among the green clad graves of Ancient Cloone, Leitrim, Ireland. November breeze wafts o'er the seas sad messages to me.
Of dear old friends whose memory blends fond love and piety.
Whose sad demise cause deep surprise, grief doth my bosom fill,
For the golden bond that draws us on to Cloone's grey stone-clad hill. Full vividly I seem to see the graves where they are laid,
A beloved Aunt and Cousin fond whose memory ne'er can fade
Where'er I stray for them I pray to Our Father God Divine,
That the golden light of happiness upon their souls may shine.(continues on next page)
