Where the hills of Ballyreddy
Rise above the winding Nore,
Stood a stately feudal mansion,
Famous in the days of yore,
Not one pile of broken ruin,
Not one tree of that domain,
Tell that there once stood a castle,
And the woods of De La Freyne.V
But alone the well that glistens,
Under the outspreading thorn,
Holds those memories like wild music,
Clinging round that place forlorn,
That old time worn, half lost legend
Which has lingered like a spell,
Mid the hills of Ballyreddy,
Over Kathleen Ryder's Well.VI
Many summers rich in blossom,
Many autumns' gorgeous flight,
Many a dark and howling winter,
Many springtimes young and bright,
Have passed o'er those winding valleys,
Like the music of their mills
Since the maiden Kathleen Ryder,
Dwelt in Ballyreddy hills.(continues on next page)- Collector
