  1. Turlough Óg O Boyle and Aileen Mc Sweeney

    Wild are thy hills, O Donegal, that growing darkly rise
    As if to greet the mist that falls upon them from the skies;
    Dark, dark thy hills and darker still thy mountain torrents flow,
    But darker still Maolmuire's heart in his Castle Hall at Doe.
    Stout are thy oaks, O Donegal, and straight thy ashen tree,
    And swift and strong thy sons so tall thy country's pride to see;
    But oak or ash or young men all that sprung from Irish soil,
    Were not more stout, swift, straight and tall than the chief of Clan O'Boyle.
