- There are not many old poets to be found in this district at the present time. But many years ago tradition tells us that a man named Patrick Owens was noted for all the songs and poems he composed about different places and different people. This man resided at Cloonfad, County Roscommon.
He composed a poem named Rememberance of Home and in this poem he tells about his home and all he remembers. The poem is as follows:-Rememberance of Home.
To the home of my childhood my blessing I give
I hope to behold it, again should I live.
I know where it stands, I remember the trees,
As they swayed to and fro at the will of the breeze,
And well I remember a small patch of flowers,
That I planted and trimmed in the long evening hours,
And the old spring well on the side of the hill,
Bright, bubbling, and clear, I remember it still.(continues on next page)- Collector
