- Oh! Avondu I wish I were
As once upon that mountain bare
Where thy young water laugh and shine
On the wild breast of Meengaine(1)
I wish I were on Cleadagh's hill(2)
Or by Glenluachra's rushy hill(3)
But now I never more shall view
Thou scenes I have loved by Avondu.Farewell ye soft and gentle streaks
Of evenings on the beauteous reeks
Farewell the mists that love to ride
O'er Caherbarnagh's stormy side
Clara: a long farewell to you
No more we meet by Avondú
No more! but thou, Oh glorious hill,
Lift to the moon thy forehead still
Flow on, flow in thou dark swift river,
Upon thy free willed course forever,
Exult young hearts in lifetime's spring
And taste the joys pure love can bring(continues on next page)
