    Amhráin
    This song was composed by Gerald Fitzgerald of Milford .He describes an old house in Ilane ,but gives it false praise .
    Sí Cuairt an uane tá go h-álainn is go h-aoibhinn
    le togha cloca geratha is aile gach binn de
    Siminithe dualánta tárnaighthe mopíce.
    S'teallach ró álainn gus
    Sásta cun suidhe ann
    Ní buogalach fad a mairfear
    Go leagadh an Bhairg
    Tá an t-amuid ró neartmhair
    Mun treasnam na lar
    is cuige siad legad na
    darac is fearr.
