   There lived at Lachtneil up to about thirty years ago a man named Ned Sullivan who when writing to his brother in America he enclosed a sprig of heather and put the following verse with it
   "Brother prize this sprig of heather
   Prize it dearest plant on earth
   Just because it grew convenient
   To the spot that gave you birth
   T'will remind you of dear faces
   And of boyhood's happy days
   Well I know how you will feel
   When I tell you I plucked it
   From the grave of "Hugh O' Neill"
   Where you played in early childhood
   With your little brother twin
   Where you toiled in early manhood
   Toiled as slaves and not as men
   You cant stay it from its purpose
   With your longing hearth come home
   Come and see your aged mother
   And your fathers lonely grave
