    (continued from previous page)
    When all nature is in decay.
    There you will see that the bloom of the wild flower
    Is still fresh and fair.
    Here little birds sing, their mellow songs always.
    The falcon too and raven old do wingèd homage pay
    All seem conscious of the fact that here lies Fionn
    Once the might of Innisfail.
    (N.B. The would be poet - I'm inclined to believe - is the above mentioned táiliúir: Pádhruigh Ó Muircheartaigh)
