- The Woodlands of Lough Rynn was composed by John Mac Donald he lived near Dromod about thirty years ago he wrote this poem. It is said a giant threw a stone from Corn Hill and it rested someplace about Lough Rynn and that his finger prints are on it I
I have heard in song and story I have seen it many a time
A little lake where cool waves break on wooded shore sublime
How often have I rambled through heather bog and glen
To watch the silver moonlight through the woodlands of Louth Rynn.II
Oft on a Summer morning beside the old black gate
I've listened to the brown bird calling softly on it's mate
From the break beside me peep the little golden wren
Whose warbling notes re'echoed through the woodlands of Loug Rynn.(continues on next page)
