  1. Old Poem - O'Donnell's Road

    Share Share Post
    Where flows the Eske from lake
    to sea
    By wooded bank and flowery
    glade,
    'Neath many a berried holly tree
    By sheltered nook and silent shade
    'Tis there O'Donnell's castle stands,
    Beneath whose walls the waters
    glide
    O'er rugged beds of rocks and sands
    To mingle with the saline tide

    'Twas there O'Donnell held his
    court
    A prouder man than he I trow
    Ne'er wrelded[sic] in war or sport
