  1. A Poem

    Share Share Post
    The Stag and Doe may frisk also all on the river brink.
    For their claims are undisputed on the plains of Ballinrink.
    II
    Bobsgrove is uninhabited by a pampered unbeliever
    And where are the inhabitants that lived in Rathiever.
    Alas they are gone and scattered oer the surface of the earth.
    Far from the friends that loved them.
    And the land that gave them birth.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
